It's hard to have a better year than a perfect one, and that's what the Hurricanes enjoyed in 2002, when they reestablished themselves as the best college football program in the country. Miami started the year with a national championship-clinching victory over Nebraska in the Rose Bowl, then saw 11 players from that team taken in April's NFL draft. The 'Canes reloaded and rolled through a 12-0 regular-season in 2002 to run their winning streak to 34 (13 short of Oklahoma's record), had two players among the top-five Heisman Trophy vote-getters, and have a January date with Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl for what could be their sixth national title since 1983.
