So, you rate a Division III Champ as automatically better than FBS 2nd?

Klatt picked 2001 Miami team as best in college football history
WestyHokie • 12/15/23 09:43 AM ET
He is confused - “most NFL talent” and “best team” are not the same thing.
NoHuddle • 12/15/23 08:44 PM ET
Did he confer with Herbstreit first?**
marcbvtgm • 12/15/23 06:39 PM ET
Can't argue with the 01 Canes. UF 08 was too low. That USC 04 team was
jecvtmgr • 12/15/23 03:11 PM ET
Yeah, I think '05 USC beats Texas 6 or 7 times out of 10. Maybe more.
reestuart • 12/15/23 04:12 PM ET
The 2001 Canes roster reads like an NFL Hall of Fame lineup
Zanderhokie • 12/15/23 03:28 PM ET
And if MV1 had stuck around another year...
EDGEMAN • 12/15/23 03:47 PM ET
Joel Klatt? Really have never heard of him.
likehokies • 12/15/23 03:10 PM ET
Klatt is as good as there is at calling games as an analyst.**
reestuart • 12/15/23 04:38 PM ET
87 and 89 Miami were better. 86 MIami the best team to never win a title. **
Bruno • 12/15/23 01:30 PM ET
2005 Texas. LOL!**
Bruno • 12/15/23 01:28 PM ET
That was the 4 interceptions. **
OneStarHokie • 12/15/23 01:06 PM ET
Yes but also the dropped two-point conversion that would have tied the game**
MP4VT2004 • 12/15/23 01:09 PM ET
Yes. That's the game we stormed back and almost tied Miami in Lane Stadium
Zanderhokie • 12/15/23 10:42 AM ET
The punt-block TD was the loudest moment in Lane Stadium history, by far**
Technik • 12/15/23 10:46 AM ET
Agree. Unreal.**
Fatman • 12/16/23 09:37 AM ET
My DAD was a Mechanical Engineer and he grab my arm and screamed in my ear
Shbolf • 12/15/23 10:57 PM ET
Yes, yes, 👍 **
Slider!22 • 12/15/23 01:15 PM ET
By far my favorite Lane Stadium moment, even though VT lost.
MP4VT2004 • 12/15/23 01:10 PM ET
Ditto**

That seismograph should be displayed in Merryman. Is it?**
TomTurkey • 12/15/23 11:25 AM ET
Need a helmet with that printed on it for an "Earthquake Effect" game.
MP4VT2004 • 12/15/23 02:14 PM ET
Would make great display helmet, though, as those should be relegated.**
TomTurkey • 12/15/23 02:34 PM ET
that's the only time I remember the noise actually hurting my ears.**
reestuart • 12/15/23 11:21 AM ET
100%. I was there. The decibels actually caused pain for a second.
Harrisburg Hokie • 12/15/23 11:12 AM ET
Yes. That was other worldly!**
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 11:03 AM ET
Wasn't there for that one but..
summervillehokie • 12/15/23 10:51 AM ET
Uber said the Nebraska fan saying, "NOOOOOO!!!!!" as the still open Coale..
TomTurkey • 12/15/23 02:41 PM ET
Totally agree. I was there and can 100% vouch for this.**
Zanderhokie • 12/15/23 10:48 AM ET
Same!**
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 11:03 AM ET
I'll take 1995 Nebraska and give the field.**
reestuart • 12/15/23 10:22 AM ET
Easily the best ever
Coattail Hokie • 12/15/23 11:01 AM ET
Agree totally ***
sacramento hokie • 12/15/23 06:55 PM ET
Yes.**
Bruno • 12/15/23 01:28 PM ET
That UF team they destroyed won all of their games by 11 or more.**
reestuart • 12/15/23 11:37 AM ET
Average score: 53.1-14.5**
Pylons • 12/15/23 11:30 AM ET
No doubt, the '95 Huskers won every game by at least 14 points...
BROman Hokie • 12/15/23 10:53 AM ET
They ( Miami) had a little more at the skill position
crazylane • 12/15/23 01:24 PM ET
Yeah, I've never seen any team dominate like that Nebraska team.
reestuart • 12/15/23 11:20 AM ET
Lead by the King of Pain- Dr Tom Osborne***
sacramento hokie • 12/15/23 11:41 AM ET
pain is a good way to describe what they did to their opponents.
reestuart • 12/15/23 01:06 PM ET
99 Hokies shouldn’t be in the conversation.
GreenvilleVT • 12/15/23 09:55 AM ET
Or the CFP. ; )**
IB4TECH • 12/15/23 01:47 PM ET
So these teams on the ESPN Top 150 list should not be there...
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 12:23 PM ET
I often wonder if having Ricky Hall would have made the difference.
Tanman • 12/15/23 11:16 AM ET
Not likely that by itself
VB Hokie • 12/15/23 06:11 PM ET
Some food for thought: Sham might be the 2nd best race horse of all time...
BROman Hokie • 12/15/23 10:58 AM ET
Except he took a Sham at Belmont**
crazylane • 12/15/23 04:02 PM ET
Sham would have won every other Kentucky Derby...'cept against Big Red**
Tuckahokie • 12/15/23 12:01 PM ET
It’s a sham no one remembers him. **
GreenvilleVT • 12/15/23 11:59 AM ET
Good one!**
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 12:25 PM ET
Michael Vick was 1999 college football.**

Hokies Will Never Have Player Like MV!**
battmanvt • 12/15/23 12:16 PM ET
I agree. He was one of the best players on my all time list. **
GreenvilleVT • 12/15/23 12:00 PM ET
Actually, if you look at my post below, that is false**
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 10:37 AM ET
The best team isn’t always the champion, didn’t the playoff teach that?
WestyHokie • 12/15/23 10:00 AM ET
I loved that '99 VT team, but the depth would hold them back against the
reestuart • 12/15/23 11:23 AM ET
What are you talking about? Games went 3Q's that season. We won!! 😉
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 12:02 PM ET
Excellent point!!!**
reestuart • 12/15/23 01:03 PM ET
True within a season, but I'd say to be the best team *ever*,
Pylons • 12/15/23 10:40 AM ET

The Ohio state team that lost to the 2001 Miami team
GreenvilleVT • 12/15/23 12:03 PM ET
Ohio State? Regular Season maybe? Miami beat Nebraska in 2001**
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 12:05 PM ET
Good catch. My bad.
GreenvilleVT • 12/15/23 12:08 PM ET
2001 Nebraska got clobbered by Colorado 62-36 before clobbered by Miami

No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 12:13 PM ET
They were more dominant in the league, division and time they played.
GreenvilleVT • 12/15/23 12:21 PM ET
"...runner-up FBS team doesn’t make the list for any of them unless they.."
No_Limit_Hokie • 12/15/23 12:30 PM ET
