It's funny - researching this has given me a new slant on the expanded playoff idea.
Back then, #1 Miami wound up playing #11 Nebraska in the bowl game. Considering the BCS gave us 1 vs 2 was supposed to have been better or what we all wanted, now we have #1 vs #4, and if/when it's an eight-team playoff, we'll have #1 vs #8....nearly back to the 1 vs 11 we had here in the '91 season.

Nearly full-circle...."advancing" to get 1 vs 2, then whittling it all back away. Hmmph. Silly.
