Not really.

Everyone sat down and agreed we deserved to play for it.

It wasn't like we simply were next in line when those teams lost...they polevaulted us after multiple teams to get into the title game, because in spite of our two losses we had far and away the best list of achievements of anyone that year.

Were we lucky as hell to win that NC? Yes. Was it a fluke? No.

I think for that year, everyone looked at the losses. Having two triple OT losses were more forgiveable then losing to Stanford or being blown out by Tennessee for example.

It had never happened before in the history of college football and will probably never happen again.

Naah, that's not a fluke.

Miles is an average coach, a bad judge of coaching ability, a poor game manager, a nice guy and a very good recruiter.

This was an earlier post, and I think the poster hit the nail on the head.
