Not because of the miraculous ending, either. That SMU team was loaded and had one of the best RBs of all time (NFL) and another who was an all-pro running back (NFL). This Colorado team is not even a top-25 team (as will be seen in the final polls), or borderline at best. This COlorado team had enough very good talent at multiple spots, and a vulnerable schedule, which allowed them to look like a borderline superstar team. But it was a mirage.
