To me there isn't any doubt they'd take USC over Iowa that year. USC played exactly one team with a losing record. Iowa lost to a .500 team and played 5 with losing records.
and as Utee knows, USC has much more helmet than the hawks

With the other problem being Florida State was probably better than both of them, but had to play a road game far tougher than either of those teams did, and lost by 3 on a TD in the final 2 minutes.
I'd give the Noles more of a chance to beat those Huskers than Michigan
but, the Vols weren't chopped liver - don't think any team was going to beat Osborne's Huskers in his last game

The Noles' run D that year was all-time great....until Fred Taylor carved them up for 160 yards and 4 TD.  I want to say they were allowing 55 yards per game, something like that.  Would have been good viewing vs Nebraska's option.

I mean, Missouri beat them, but...

Kind of funny how two national champiobs in a 7 year span would have had their title chances ruined by Missouri save for a reffing blunder at the end

I watched that FSU UF game in a hunting shack on a 13 inch black and white w rabbit ears after a day of duck hunting.  Snowy fuzz reception.  Great memories. 

Few MNCs were crowned w/o said team pulling a horshoe out of an opponents posterior somewhere during the season.

Actually, I never thought about it that way, but our entire college football postseason changed because Missouri got screwed twice.

I don’t think it mattered if it was inadvertent or not.  I never considered that an illegal play.  A receiver can use any part of his body he wants or needs to secure a catch.

No, an intentional kick was a penalty, a 15 yarder I believe

Taken from an article after the game

After the game, which Nebraska won in overtime 45-38, Wiggins admitted that he kicked the ball intentionally after the game, saying “I looked down and saw the Missouri guy about to catch it and I just wanted to keep it alive.” While his truthfulness is appreciated, it made an excusable judgment call look incorrect.

Athlon a couple years ago had the two anti-Missouri calls as two of the 4 worst officiating calls in college football history.  Resulted in two split national championships, and 3 split championships in a 7 year period, rather than just one.  So back to my original point, if you miss the old bowl system, blame the fact that Missouri got screwed twice.

I do miss the old bowl system, but if you put it this way, I'd rather have the split in 97 than still have the old bowl system
