Winning a national championship is the pinnacle of college football, achieved by only one of over 130 teams each year, with the 2001 Miami Hurricanes standing out as a prime example. Coached by Larry Coker, Miami went 12-0 and dominated their opponents, culminating in a 37-14 victory over Nebraska for their first title in a decade. The roster boasted numerous future NFL stars, including Ed Reed and Clinton Portis, solidifying their legacy as one of the greatest teams in college football history. Quarterback Ken Dorsey led a high-scoring offense, finishing third in Heisman voting that year, while Miami produced 37 NFL draft picks from this championship squad.
