Nebraska had won the past two NCs although the 1994 Championship is argued by fans of Penn State because the Nittany Lions also finished undefeated. Anyway, as two-time defending NC and coming off of that beat down of the Gators in the 1995 BCA Championship the Cornhuskers started out #1 and it wasn't close.
One of the biggest events of that season was Arizona State's shutout upset of Nebraska on September 21. Ironically, Nebraska's loss to ASU happened on the same field where they had demolished the Gators almost 10 months earlier.
Anyway, September 21, 1996 was an exciting day of CFB:
- #1 Nebraska lost 19-0 at #17 Arizona State
- #2 Tennessee lost 35-29 at home to #4 Florida
- #6 Texas lost 27-24 at home to #9 Notre Dame
That certainly shook up the top-10 and when it came out on Monday (yes, Monday back then) it was:
- 3-0 Florida coming off of their win at #2 Tennessee. Up from #4.
- 2-0 Florida State, up from #3.
- 4-0 Penn State, up from #5.
- 2-0 Ohio State, up from #7.
- 3-0 Notre Dame, up from #9.
- 3-0 Arizona State, up from #17.
- 3-0 Michigan, up from #8.
- 1-1 Nebraska, down from #1.
- 2-1 Tennessee, down from #2.
- 3-0 Miami, FL - even.
A week later #4 Ohio State beat #5 Notre Dame in South Bend. A week after that #3 Ohio State demolished #4 Penn State and that pretty much dialed in the NC race:
- Florida stayed at #1 until they lost to FSU the week before the SECCG. That dropped them to #4 but they beat #11 Bama in the SECCG and #3 UNL lost to Texas in the B12CG which got UF back to #3 and into a BCA title-game against #1 FSU. They won the rematch and finished #1.
- Florida State dropped to #3 when Ohio State thumped PSU but climbed back to #2 when Michigan beat Ohio Sate and stayed there until they beat #1 Florida in Tallahassee then climbed to #1 then fell back to #3 when they lost to UF in NOLA.
- Ohio State climbed to #3 by winning at #5 Notre Dame and to #2 by demolishing #4 Penn State and stayed there until they lost at home to Michigan (John Cooper). The loss to Michigan dropped them to #6 but they slid up to #5 a week later after #5 Colorado lost to #4 Nebraska. Then they climbed another spot after UNL's B12CG upset loss to Texas. They were #4 going into the Rose Bowl and beat #2 to finish #2.
- Arizona State climbed to #4 based on Ohio State taking out ND and PSU and stayed there until Ohio State lost to Michigan. That moved ASU up to #3 and then FSU's win over UF moved ASU up to #2. They lost the Rose Bowl to #4 Ohio State and finished #4.
Memories of the season:
I was a 21 year old Junior at Ohio State. I remember watching the win over Notre Dame on TV and when it went final we went outside and there was this euphoric roar all over the campus area.
A week later the PSU game was concerning because it had only been two years earlier that PSU just obliterated Ohio State in Happy Valley. My dad and I arranged for tickets to that game for he and my brother for my brother's 16th birthday that week. I really expected Tom to come to Columbus and see a great game and instead it honestly looked like the Buckeyes were playing a MAC team. That was one of the more impressive performances I've ever seen from the Buckeyes considering that it wasn't some crappy opponent, it was a top-4 Gameday matchup and Ohio State just ran Paterno's team off the field.
As mentioned above my dad and brother came down to Ohio State for the PSU game but they didn't get there until close to gametime so I had the morning free and I went over to see this ESPN Program called College Gameday that had never been to Ohio State before that. I saw Lee Corso put on the Brutus head but I had no idea what I was witnessing. I didn't usually watch the show so I didn't know that Lee Corso's headgear pick was a brand new item that started on October 5, 1996 in Columbus, Ohio and I was there to see it.
Stop me if you've heard this before concerning a John Cooper coached team but The Game just sucked. Michigan was decent, they finished 8-4 and #20 but they weren't nearly as good as the Penn State team that Ohio State throttled or the Notre Dame team that Ohio State beat on the road or the ASU team that Ohio State beat in the Rose Bowl. Michigan lost that year to Purdue whom Ohio State beat 42-14 and Penn State whom Ohio State beat 38-7 but it was Cooper so you all know how that ended.
My family drove to the Rose Bowl. As I sit here in my office typing this there is a picture frame beside me with my ticket stub, an Ohio State logo, and a picture of my parents, my brother, and I with the Rose Bowl scoreboard behind us. The picture was taken by an ASU fan. We had agreed that the loser would stay long enough to take that picture for the winner and to his credit he upheld his end of the bargain.
The UF/FSU Sugar Bowl must have been played a day after NYD because I distinctly remember listening to it on an AM broadcast while driving across America on our way home from Pasadena. I remember that I was hoping for a REALLY sloppy game with the Gators eking out a close win because that was the only chance Ohio State had to get the NC. Instead Florida obliterated FSU and the Buckeyes finished #2.

Just so everyone remembers the conferences then...

Great. My freshman year. The last season of HC Jim Colletto. Purdue went 3-8. If it waited until 1997, we'd at least have Joe Tiller and basketball on grass.

Truth.
There are a lot of what-ifs from that season but Tennessee is generally ignored because they finished 10-2 and #9 so they aren't really seen as being all that close but . . .
Their two losses were by 6 at home to Florida and by 4 on the road to a terrible Memphis team. Those are both very winnable games and games that the Volunteers probably should have won. If they'd have won the UF game they'd have gone to the SECCG and probably played FSU in the Sugar Bowl.

That Texas-Mizzou game was a wild one. It was our first game as official B12 members and they decided to open the season with a conference game instead of non-con. A massive thunderstorm came in during the second half and the game was delayed for almost an hour. Kids were jumping the walls and running across the field, sliding like soccer players after a goal. Security tried to chase them but couldn't keep up.
Horns prevailed 40-10, Ricky Williams and Priest Holmes both had big days.

1996 was a good season
The two-time defending national champion and top-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers looked every bit the part in a season-opening 55-14 win against Michigan State.
The Huskers got contributions from all areas, including the offense, defense and special teams. Nebraska led 27-0 at the half and 34-0 before the Spartans got on the board.
In the first half, NU scored on a rushing touchdown by quarterback Scott Frost, a 62-yard punt return by Mike Fullman and an 84-yard interception return by Mike Minter.
Nebraska All-America candidate Grant Wistrom added another defensive touchdown, scoring on a nine-yard interception return late in the third quarter.
Offensively, Nebraska gained 298 yards, including 184 on the ground, led by sophomore Ahman Green’s 71 yards and a touchdown.
But it was the Husker defense that did the most damage. The Blackshirts held MSU to 246 yards, intercepted Spartan quarterbacks three times and had seven sacks for 50 yards in losses.
It was Nebraska’s 11th straight victory in a season opener, its 26th straight win overall, 37th straight regular-season win and 31st in a row at home.

There are a lot of what-ifs from that season but Tennessee is generally ignored because they finished 10-2 and #9 so they aren't really seen as being all that close but . . .

Bless your heart.
Tennessee's 6-point loss to Florida was 35-0 midway through the 2nd quarter. The rest of the game was running plays and prevent defense.
But you do your thing.

The Nebraska @ ASU game that year was surreal. It was like a video game set to 'impossible' difficulty for the Huskers, where nothing they did would work. And Derrick Rodgers, I think #59, lived in their backfield the whole game.

This is better than real life.
In reality A&M lost to both BYU and USL ( I think they go by University of Louisiana Lafayette now). I seem to recall the BYU game as a high scoring affair, we lost like 34-36 or something. USL we threw like 6 INT.
This was back in the day when we’d play a road game at someone like that. So this was actually an away game for us.
Our QB was a much hyped guy named Branndon Stewart. YES, there is an extra N. He was a Transfer from Tennessee, where he narrowly (supposedly) got beat out by Peyton Manning.
Anyways, we ended up 6-6, losing badly to UT at the end of the season 51-15.
This was my first season at A&M. I wasn’t a freshman because I was a transfer student and I was also 20 years old but everything was completely new to me. I didn’t know anything about CFB at all. None of the great teams, or rivalry’s or anything. I didn’t know anything about the SWC or Big 12 or SEC.
I watched that UT/ ND game as well as the ASU Neb game. I remember the announcer making a big deal out of it. I watched UF destroy Tennessee. It was my first exposure to all things CFB and it’s very memorable to me.
I was at all the home games and I was at the very first Big 12 A&M game vs CU.

I met Brannnnnndon Stewart a few years later in Austin, he was taking the same SCUBA diving class that I was, in preparation for his honeymoon trip, which is also what I was doing. We were the only two younger guys in the class so we hung out together some. He was a heck of a nice guy, and when I asked him if he missed playing football he said kind-of, but he absolutely did not miss the working out. His frame was naturally lean and athletic but to play D1-A college QB he'd had to bulk up a ton, and he said it was grueling.
