This was the play on 3rd down with 2 minutes left to seal the game, it wasn't called pass interference and was called incomplete.

Korin and Kosmo,

Miami should have gone back-to-back in 2000 and 2001.

Indeed.

Two holds and a completed pass?

Gamble got away clean and had an opportunity to make the catch. Flag would have been thrown if he wouldn't have been able to make that separation. We can't go back to review tape and erase plays that have jersey holding. There would be no football.

As far as being in-bounds, it certainly isn't definitive from that angle.

One-loss Miami beat #1 Florida State in the middle of the regular season and did not lose again. Then FSU leapfrogged Miami November 20th in the BCS after Florida State beat Florida and Miami dropped to 3.

Miami's only loss that year was week 2 at Washington in Seattle. Washington finished #3 in the final AP poll.

Miami would have killed the Josh Heupel Oklahoma team in 2000. And it would have been in Miami to boot.

So yes, they were that close to back-to-back-to-back.

Looks like PI to me

So the guy holds twice (obvious hold at that), but because Gamble broke free it doesn't warrant a flag? Couldn't that have impacted how clean the catch was? Regardless the point is that they got lucky they didn't get a call, which would have ended the game. So when they get unlucky on a similar call (still was clear contact anyways) that kept the game going, it seems that at worst it's a wash.

Could say that Washington got robbed then since they beat Miami. Right?

I think Miami had the best claim and Washington had the worst and I had no dog in the fight. Of Miami/FSU/Washington, Washington had the worst loss of the bunch. They lost at Oregon, who was top-ten but the 3rd best team in the Pac 10.

And in 2000, the Pac 10 was unusually horrific. It had 3 top 10 teams (Washington, Oregon State, Oregon), and then Stanford finished 4th and was not even bowl eligible. No other team was better than 6-6. Washington didn't face a team with a winning record between October 7 and their bowl game, and they won the majority of those games by a touchdown or less.
