Disagree...2005 USC Trojans, 2001 Miami Hurricanes and the 1991 Miami Hurricanes...both teams had 7 first round draft picks...Hard to discount Bama in 2010-2012. FSU in 1993 had quite a few 1st rounders. Tough discussion as the game has changed over the years.
Good arguments here, esp Trojans and 2001 Hurricanes. FSU 1993 lost to Notre Dame and backed into the Championship game when ND then lost to Boston College, and I think someone else like Texas also lost the last week of the season.
The game has changed so much over the years.. even over the past 5 years, I stand by my statement this was the best colllege team ever. I have never seen such a cohesive unit.
QUESTION: Has there ever been a team where the head coach who suceeded a coach who won a National Chamionship won one in his own right?
