In 1980, you were #14 with the Heisman winner going against Danny Ford with his job on the line (dropping from 11-1 in 78 to 7-4 in 79 and then 5-5 in 80, he was gone with a loss). You had a chance to come in at 10-0 and #1 in 1984, but lost to Navy the previous week and then beat Clemson on a second-chance XP. For all the talk of Spurrier's 3 or 4 good teams, the 84 and 87 squads were more talented relative to the times, and better coached against arguably tougher schedules. The 87 team was very, very good but got some bad breaks in the Miami game.
