Eras are different and I'm probably biased, but no way in **** does Bama's current squad lift a candle to that 2001 juggernaut. And for the youngsters in this thread, if you thought LSU/Bama this year had a lot of NFL talent on the field, you should have seen the 80s, 90s, and early 00s UM/FSU games. Unreal amount of pro talent at every position.

At our best, no one comes close.
 
So many hall of fame players and all pros. Not just NFL players but hall of fame and all pros. There is going to be several more from that time that should get a really good consideration at the hall of fame. Then also Sean Taylor was so special that he would of had a really great chance at it as well.

Consider that ST was riding the pine and Willis was playing fullback in 01. The SEC could put together all its best, practice for as long as they wanted and still get there rears kicked by that team. The only team that had a chance against '01 was the Cane second team that year, except we only had one worthy QB.

The only reason the eras are different is Larry and Donna. Those who hate Butch can give him a little blame for not have QBs stacked like every other position. If we had real HCs, Bama would have never risen. THE U would rule like the 80's winning about half the NCs and losing the ones in between to a USC, UT or OSU from over confidence.
 
Well it goes to show you...whenever an elite college football team comes around who is the one team the media ALWAYS pits them up against or compares them too...?...The 2001 Canes. Ive never heard anyone say, "Hey, how do you think ALA would stack up against that 99' FSU squad?" LOL..Ahhhhhh..No.

The critical difference between the two is offense. There is no comparison between Miami's running backs, receivers, and tight ends and Alabama's at any point in time.. and the QB wasn't bad either.
 
That Alabamy squad stand zero chance against the dog-that-is-in-him-ness of that 01 team. Maybe un matched all times.

Not to be that guy, but 2001 BC almost beat the 2001 Canes


You are not factually wrong, but the difference lies in the fact that when Miami is MIAMI and on top of the college landscape, it tends to play down to its level of competition (one of its biggest Achilles heels). By contrast, the bigger the stage and the better the opponent, the more likely they were to play to their potential and steal the other team's shine (to steal a phrase from 2001 team member DJ Williams).

Strength on strength, a fully focused 2001 Canes team wins going away against modern-day Bama.
