Especially against Boston College. BC had the ball inside the 10 with a chance to beat Miami in the final minute until Ed Reed did Ed Reed things.

It should've been Florida v Miami. They were loaded that year, but were upset by Tennessee. That game was postponed to the end of the year due to 9/11. That would've been a great game

For all 2001 Miami’s overall NFL talent, they were not great at the most pivotal position: quarterback. Dorsey was solid, but if he had been a first round stud like everyone else, Miami probably wins three titles in a row.
As for the controversy, a few teams had their opportunities late in the season and blew them. When you have two losses, including one late, it’s hard to bitch too much.
The disappointment for me was that I knew the Rose Bowl was going to be boring as hell because Nebraska’s style had systematic problems against superior defensive fronts.
Probably 3-4 teams had a better chance of beating Miami than Nebraska did.

And against Boston College. It was 11-7 and BC was inside the 10 when they threw a pick that was returned 90+ yards for a TD.

There was talk of split championships going in to the bowls
I don’t think that’s true.
Miami was the only undefeated team and was already being talked about as a potential GOAT.
Everyone else had a loss, and the presumption was that Colorado was probably the second best team, but they had 2 losses.
Colorado ended up losing their bowl game to Oregon and was quickly forgotten.
