Meh, it's an odd case.
OSU was put down historically, which leads to some kind of stretching of things to get them in good graces. I was an OSU fan that year. It's hard to use a team that lived on the razor's edge
On the other hand Miami's defense was clearly lacking in a couple spots, but overall was still highly impressive (third in yards per play allowed), but gave up points at a much more modest rate.
USC clearly felt great and Georgia probably never quite got its due. I wonder if in retrospect, USC gets a tad overrated, though that scoring margin and schedule say something.
