12-team playoff for 1990:
.
9 Houston @ 8 Penn St.....................winner vs 1 Colorado
12 BYU @ 5 Miami...........................winner vs 4 Washington
11 Iowa @ 6 Notre Dame.................winner vs 3 Texas
10 Tennnessee @ 7 Florida St.............winner vs 2 Ga Tech
.
Lots of independents back then, moving 8th-ranked UW up to the last bye spot.
Iowa was part of a 4-way tie for B1G title, I picked them because they were the RB participant.
Tennessee had 2 losses and 2 ties.
