Which program - should they win another NT - replace SC or ND on Mt Rushmore?

Florida State

Florida State finishing in the final AP top 5 for like 15 years straight is insane. They won multiple BCS era title, played for another, snapped the SEC streak, made it to the playoff (quack). Multiple heismans


Their recent success puts them above Miami imo. IF they won another title you'd have to say 3 coaches getting it done is no fluke.

I will grant you the top 5 finishes ... remarkable, especially when you consider that FSU is one of the few programs that can actually stand behind the "anyplace, anytime" chatter. They've played some tuff schedules.

That said, 5 > 3, and as was just discussed elsewhere, Miami is within an eyelash of 8 titles (86, 88 and 02), and a couple of eyelashes from 9 (2000). They have a ridiculous home winning streak that you know well, they once had a 19 game road winning streak, they have an absurd record vs. #1 ranked teams, they have few equals when it comes to producing impact players at the pro level, all kinds of draft pick records, soon to be fourth all-time with Pro HOFamers when Reed gets in next year for 8 and will be chasing Ohio State's 10 players soon with potential inductees Gore, Edge, Dre Johnson and Wilfork (two of those gets in). And their 2001 team was an all-timer and as close to flawless as they come ... nails across the board, strong and deep at every position on the field.

Florida State has been a little less up and down, but I have a hard time putting FSU over them just yet. They'd need a couple more titles before you could be serious about that. AND, Miami doesn't have to "IF" the coaching question. 4 different coaches have won titles there.

Hey, Miami REALLY respects Washington too. What with the streak and all ....

One other tie-in: EVERYBODY with a brain knows that Miami or Washington 2000 throttle 2000 Oklahoma. That's a crappy title.

Except 2000 Oregon State would have beaten all of them in a Natty game.

Good poont. All 3 teams were very tuff end of year. Would have been a good year for a playoff.

It was an honor for THE University of Oregon to own reigning national champion FSU and Mt. Rushmore final four finalist, on the national stage in front of millions and millions of duck fans nationwide in the playoffs.



First game Famous Jameis ever lost. He went 26-0 before falling to the duck blitzkrieg.
