Doesn’t mean they weren’t overhyped

Do you remember following the 2005 season? They were supposedly the greatest team of all time. Bush and White were Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis and Matt Leinart was the reigning Heisman winner headed for a repeat. When Bush was not taken first overall, it was derided as one of the biggest errors in drafting history (it was not a mistake at all and Bush was not even the best RB in his draft class).

In retrospect, they struggled against two inferior opponents during the regular season and while they ran up gaudy numbers against poor opponents, only their blowout of Oregon stands out as an impressive win.

Admittedly Miami 2002 got similar treatment, as did FSU 2000.
