Look at all those useless yankee states hating on the Cowboys.  I love it!
That's gonna happen when you put a team from Texas in the NFC East.

I was today years old when I realized Purdue had the Heisman runner-up 3 out of 4 years:  
66 Griese
68 Keyes
69 Phipps

Hmmph.

Probably the largest collection of misinformation and utter nonsense on the face of the earth.

Here's kind of a rankings thing - it's definitely interesting in terms of a snapshot.

So I find a video on youtube of gameplay from a 1994 Sega Genesis video game called "College Football's National Championship." 
First of all, I've never heard of it.
Second of all, and interestingly, it has 32 teams.  But which teams they include is weird and/or revealing. 
So remember, it was produced in 1994.
Illinois, ND, UM, OSU, Penn St, Pitt, Syracuse, BC, Tennessee, Clemson, Georgia, Florida, Miami, FSU, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Houston, Texas, A&M, Arkansas, OU, Nebraska, CU, BYU, Arizona, Cal, Stanford, San Diego St, USC, and UCLA.
.
So we've got some PAC, some B1G, a couple of ACC, half the SEC, a few Big 8, a few SWC......
Kind of a hodge-podge, wouldn't you say?
So it was FSU vs BC, and FSU's QB was #17 and BC's was #13, so that's Ward and Foley.  That means it's 1993 teams, so that makes more sense. 

San Diego State?  Marshall Faulk.
Illinois?  Those LBs?
Wisconsin won the B1G, but maybe they were too johnny-come-lately?

And the menu music is 8-bit renditions of famous fight songs, like ND's and UM's.

College Football USA 96 (Genesis) allows you to run plays out of the shotgun, I, veer, wishbone, pro, or T formations, lol.  
Got some smart offensive players to remember all of that.
