Might also do a college basketball one, although maybe just for my own interest.  I think with both of these what I would like is one that also took away the transfer portal.  If the NCAA Football game has a "transfer portal" option to adjust rosters, like how you can move players around on the Madden roster, I might do one of those next year

Also, that Raycom music, I haven't heard in 30 years, and it instantly took me back.

Teams have played a ton once they became Big XII foes, but never met in a bowl.  Only 2 meeting prior to 1998 were in 1967 and 1974 in Lubbock

Every once in a while, a game is described as "one of the greatest games ever played," and it's not hyperbole. Forty years later, that's how Tom Shatel views the 1984 Orange Bowl. It's still the greatest game he's ever seen.
