Looks a lot like 1984, sans BYU.

yup, doesn't look like 82.......

Huskers were ranked #3 when they beat #11 OU on black friday

not sure how Sooners would get the #4 seed after that

wasn't 81 or 83

of course perhaps they recreated the entire season, but the Sooners just weren't #4 seed material from 80-83

maybe 84, but unlikely

In the pre-bowl 1982 poll (12/6/1982):
  • 11-0 Gerogia
  • 10-1 Penn State
  • 11-1 Nebraska
  • 10-0-1 SMU
  • 9-1-1 UCLA
  • 9-2 Pitt
  • 9-1-1 CLemson
  • 9-2 Texas
  • 9-2 Washington
  • 9-2 West Virginia
  • 9-2 Arizona State
  • 8-3 Oklahoma
  • 8-2-1 LSU
  • 8-2-1 Arkansas
  • 8-3 USC
  • 8-3 Maryland
Ohio State would be the first team out at 8-3, #17

I'd guess it was created in the off-season between 84 and 85. 
But Penn St being there could mean off-season between 82 and 83.

What is the point of the Big Ten Championship game?  All it does is shoot one of the Big Ten's two best teams in the ass wrt the playoffs.  Does it make sense to keep it going forward?  I would rather have another conference game added to the schedule for each team and drop a BCS cupcake or worse.  
A decade of Victory over Penn State.

All in since 1969
