The 50 greatest college football teams throughout history

2. Best college football teams of all-time: 2001 Miami

If I told you that a team had a greater margin of victory against ranked teams than against unranked teams, you might find that a bit strange.

And sure, it might just be that, but this Miami team knew how to step up to the occasion. Eventually winning the 2001 National Championship, this Miami team was dominant on both sides of the ball. They allowed only 117 points during the year and scored 512 of their own en route to a perfect 12-0 season.

One of the most talented teams in college football history, there were at least six players from the team that went on to play in the NFL Pro Bowl and they left a legacy that will go down as one of, if not the, best team in college football history.

The team was led by one of best safeties of all time in Ed Reed, linebacker Jonathan Vilma, quarterback Ken Dorsey, wide receiver Andre Johnson, running backs Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee and Frank Gore and tight end Jeremy Shockey, among a number of other proud products of The U.

This team is one of the most talented rosters ever fielded in college football and deserves a spot as high as they got on this list.
