no playoff was perfect
Of course you were gifted half a championship but hung a full banner anyway just like the '97 Weasels

not really, it's just one delusional guy who is a truly obsessed oh and four loser. Nick Saban was right- that entire fan base needs therapy.
Our fan base wasn't buying 2 litres of Pepsi just to get rid of tickets for home games. And you didn't need therapy when you were MFing Harbaugh and calling for his head after 5 straight loses to tOSU? and Saban quit after one loss to Michigan so I guess it depends on whose ox is getting gored

While not the sexiest potential split NC matchup, 97 UM vs 97 UNL would have been extremely interesting.

UM's strength was an all-time great pass D, led by you know who.  But Nebraska didn't need to pass, so that sort of becomes irrelevant. 
And of the 2,000+ teams I've created for WN (and I may have said this before), 97 UM's offense is unique in that only 2 of their top 6 pass-catchers were WRs.  They may be the only team that's true for (acknowledging 90% of the teams I've created are very good teams...so this phenomenon is likely more common for poor teams).
Anyway, what that means is a ton of check-downs to 3 RBs (low yards-per-attempt) and a TE.  Despite the bombs to Toomer & Hays?, that bodes well for a stellar UNL defense.

Would have been a great game, in my preferred traditional bowl system + 1 as necessary format.

You misspoke. What you should have said is: 

When we had no playoff? That was perfect.

the weasels had no chance in that potential matchup, they knew it and hid in the Doze Bowl against inferior competition

would have been a great game. could see it going either way. Michigan had the ultimate X-factor that year in Woodson- he flat out just always made huge plays in critical moments to change games. Did at the next level as well. My god what an unbelievable player he was in both college & the NFL. Can't believe the Raiders quit on him after couple injuries he had in back to back seasons and then he goes off to Green Bay and rejuvenates his career. Probably my all-time favorite defensive player.

Yup, would have been a fantastic game.  If that season happened just a few years later, we would have gotten to see it.

Lol. This is actually a fair point. This was just a reflection of the UM brass getting in the way of RichRod truly having a shot and then horribly hiring Brady Hoke. It was our own Cooper era, except it wasn’t just consistent losses to our rival, it was consistent losses to a lot of teams that were better and it lasted longer. As the reasonable OSU fans can probably acknowledge, when you lose you your rival 10/12 years or 14/15 or whatever absurd stat came after Cooper was ousted, winning that rivalry game and gaining a championship season out of it is a little more meaningful than getting one when times were good for a long time. The Cavs title in 2016 meant more than atom Brady’s 7th ring for Boston. So just like Clevelanders for a long time, there were definitely some UM fans that needed some sports therapy.

The rest of the country is going to be halfway to their spring game by the time this thing kicks off.

6 is dumb.  Byes are dumb.  But really the whole tournament is dumb.

Back to 1983 conference alignments and bowl tie-ins.  So much better.

The Play Offs's serve the purpose of shutting the whore mouths of runner ups like Miami in '02 that would have been handed the hardware 🤩. Simply because they already had handed out the initatioins to the victory party. So an extra two would have done it

And they haven't been back
