They were consistently making the playoffs. In fact, I think they played in 4 or 5 AFC Championship games from 82 to 93 and won the AFC East at least 7 times since '80.
Are not the Dolphin's team colors aqua and coral?
And isn't this thread about College football?

That's the exact reason why we need to have a Division IA play-off system. It wouldn't do away with bowls. Take the top 16 teams in the nation (made up of conference champions and BCS rankings to fill in the rest) and let them fight it out for four weeks, culminating in the BCS championship game. All 16 teams could play in January bowls, with the losers of ...[text shortened]... lay-offs. 10 of those teams play BCS bowl games, the other 6 play in other January 1st bowls.

You guys don't get it. In college football is isn't about who is having an up or down year. It is about being loyal to your conference and school no matter what. When my Gophers had only one win last year I rooted just as hard as when they made it to the crummy bowl games.
Originally posted by badmoonWhat do you mean? I will always root 'Canes. Last years 5-7 wasn't pleasant, but I've been a Miami fans for 40 years. Hell, in the '70's we were lucky to win 3 games a year.

It's time to prepare for battle. ðŸ˜
Originally posted by EladarUSC has to hope that whoever they face in the BCS it is a team within the Big Ten as it always seems to be.
Don't try to kid us, you thought this was a roller coaster season when Notre Dame lost.
USC has to hope that either the Big 12 or SEC top team has at least two losses.
Originally posted by EladarThis isn't necessarily true. It often depends on when a teams loses. I have seen many teams lose in September climb right back into things, but a loss in late October or November are quite deadly.

I think it has already proven to be a roller coaster season, like pretty much every college football season. It is quite rare to have a team go start to finish ranked #1.

Predictions!!!
Purdue over ND
OSU over the Gophers
Penn State over Illinios
Alabama over overrated Georgia
Wisconsin over that team up north. It is the first time that Wisconsin has been favored while playing in Michigan. In addition, if Wisconsin wins, it will be the first time in over 40 years they have beaten them back to back years. Also, it will be the first time since 1967 UM would loose their home opener in the Big Ten. You know, I always save the best for last. SWEET!!!
