The upperclassmen on that team have only been in the NFL for two years. There is plenty of guys on that team who are off to a good start in the NFL:
Mike Sainristil, AJ Barner Blake Corrum, Will Johnson, Mason Graham had injuries his rookie year but he will be a stud, Roman Wilson has gotten a lot of Buzz in training camp, Kris Jenkins is way beyond serviceable, Zak Zinter (injuries early on but is battling for a starting spot)
They are far from being one of the best national championship teams of the decade, but at the end of the day they were the best team in college football that year. I have a very unpopular take on the scandal (I think it made almost no difference), but I don't have enough to argue with people. I hate OSU and have always liked the Harbaugh family, so there is that element as well. The point is that the team was extremely well-coached and had plenty of guys who made it to the next level. It's stupid to compare that team to the '01 Canes and the 19 LSU Tigers because that is impossible to replicate. People are going to have this same conversation in a few years with the 25' Indiana team
