Eh, only 4 teams had a shot at the NC.  I don't care how messy the win would be, UM wins it if the top 3 lose.  Helmet, 1-loss, conf champ.  Done deal.  As a Gators fan, I was really pulling for Michigan to win so Florida would have a shot.  But it didn't matter, because Florida forgot how to get the ball in the end zone and kept kicking FGs for 3 quarters in the Sugar Bowl.
I wasn't hopeful at all that Nebraska would beat Miami.  
me either
I was watching from Tempe.  It was ugly

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.

That was probably Osborne's worst ever home beating by a long shot.   Washington had 600+ yards .  4th qtr was a train wreck.
