What are you talking about, every one of FSUs defensive players are in the NFL exept 2, and the 2 not in the NFL now were for 2 or 3 years.

99 FSU's defense is one of the worst defenses at fsu in the last 10 years. That team was an offensive juggernaut with great special teams play (i.e. Janikowski, probably the greatest college kicker ever -- without him they lose 1 or 2 games). There defense while talented, was only above average, as evidenced by their inability to stop one freshman qb in the title game, that they had a month to gameplan for, kill them for 3+ quarters.

I also love how this is a thread about the "greatest ncaa fb team," yet all these people are fixated on the nfl draft instead of the results on the field of the particular season in question. The Nebraska, Miami, FSU, Tennesee, and Florida teams all had boatloads of players who were drafted and are/were playing on Sundays. tOSU had mulitple teams with more talent when Cooper was there, than the season they actually won the title. Does that mean the 02 tOSU is worse than these teams?

Also, being great in college doesn't necessarily translate to greatness in the NFL. For example, the best player on any of these teams, Tommie Frazier, who is generally regarded as one of the top 10 players in college football history (and the only won who didn't win the heisman), didn't get drafted, because he wasn't a pro-style qb and had reoccurring blood clots which ended his pro career.
