2016 would put the 2000 team away before they showed up after halftime. 2016 was better at probably 9 positions on defense and most of the skill positions. OL was about even. 2000 was better at QB, TE and not having Psalm. That's about it.
Tui better clutch QB (at least, 2 years into Browning's career) but there are some things that Browning does better. 2000 team was lucky to go 11-1. The 2016 team would have gone undefeated that year with few close games and completely destroyed Purdue in the Rose Bowl. Pete > Rick and not even close.

2016 rather easily.
This is why 2000 wins rather easily, say 34-17?
I know you are being sarcastic but the guys from 2000 are in their mid to late 30's now. Have they even lifted or worked out since then? No way could Tui run away from Bierria
All other things being equal the answer is always the modern team that had better training, coaching, and strategy beating the team from a previous era.
2000 team had 5 dudes get drafted. Tui in the 2nd round, plus 4 other guys in rounds 5 and beyond. The overall talent gap going by future NFL dudes is pretty significant.

2016 rather easily.
2000 team beat the U who had more talent than any team since except for 2001/2 U.
Ergo, 2000 team finds a way to win.
And things weren't equal to begin with.
2016 and it isn't close.
