This would have been a fun year to crown Miami national champs and then have like an 8 team tourney for 2nd.  The gap from 2 through like 10 seemed smaller than usually.

I don’t think the committee has closely followed the AP poll.  If anything, I think the AP has tried to follow the CFP once the rankings are released.

I'll be damned. All these years I thought that Colorado State was the one that got them.

This was the year Spurrier coached his last game at Florida.
The Gators would have given Miami a better game than anyone in 2001.  #1 in scoring offense, #4 in scoring defense.
Destroyed #21 Miss St, #18 LSU, #14 USCe, and #6 Maryland.  But didn't win its division or conference.  LSU wound up winning the SEC.  The Gators beat them 44-15 in Red Stick.  I was at that game.  It was embarrassing for them.  I got my orange afro wig stolen off my head after a long tug-o-war between a drunk and my friend.  

The loss to Tennessee was inexplicable.  The run defense just pooped the bed over and over again.  It was nuts.

So we go 10-2 with a blowout win in the Orange Bowl, and it's not good enough.  The season, from having a possible national championship matchup on Dec 1, was a failure.  So Spurrier got tired of that reality and left.

The Buffaloes got Rammed in 99, 00, and 02, but it was the Rams getting Buffaloed in 01.

Spurrier left because Dan Snyder offered him what at the time was the most lucrative deal an NFL coach had ever signed- 5 years and $25 million. NFL coaches before that deal might’ve been making $1mil maybe $2 million a year at best.

He really kicked off that whole coaching salary explosion thing.

Spurrier got a raw deal in Washington. That might be the most dysfunctional front office/ownership there is in the entire NFL. Had Spurrier been able to have more control he probably would’ve been successful there.
