I would argue that your comment above about so many guys going to the NFL early would help disqualify Miami from the "best" bracket in college football.
There are teams who have been recent national champions who actually
graduate some of their star players. The talk about "student" athletes should have some meaning. If not, let's just drop the charade, pay college football players, and make the BCS a farm organization for the NFL.
And "ever" is a pretty long time. When you consider "ever" you can compare Miami's five national championships to Oklahoma and Ohio State's seven each. I don't have time to do a search, but I'll bet there are schools with even more than that.
No, taking nothing away from this year's Miami team, I just can't buy the idea that Miami is the best football power "ever." You might make an argument for the best overall program over the past twenty years -- but not "ever."
ETA -- it actually appears that Notre Dame has won eleven national football championships. Michigan has won eight. Alabama won six under Bear Bryant. That's if I counted them all correctly.
