Title: VOTE - Runoff Tiebreaker!!!! 1984
Post by: OrangeAfroMan on February 24, 2019, 12:33:59 AM: #3 Washington beat #2 Oklahoma
#4 Nebraska beat #1 BYU
Who wins the championship game?

-

#3 - Washington, 10-1, PAC 10 Champions
16th in scoring offense
2nd in scoring defense
59th in strength of schedule

Another great defensive team, giving up over 16 points only once. Win @ #3 Michigan was only vicotry over ranked team. Lost only other game vs ranked team (#16 USC). Did not win Pac-10 conference. Reached #1 ranking midseason befoe losing to USC. Poor QB play offset by good RB. Defense had incredible 27 INTs.

#4 - Nebraska, 9-2, Big 8 Co-Champions
5th in scoring offense
1st in scoring defense
53rd in strength of schedule

Number one scoring defense in country. Offense failed them in only two losses (@ unranked Syracuse, vs OU). Wins over #8 UCLA and #9 Oklahoma State. Rose to #1 ranking before regular-season finale vs OU loss. Strong running game (obviously) with 2-QB system. Poor FG kicking (5 made FG in 12 ATT).

I was showing that it wasn't a slam dunk. I don't think you know what a slam dunk is.
If it had been a slam dunk, why did the teams have an equal number of votes in the initial thread? :1rij:

Post by: FearlessF on February 24, 2019, 07:54:12 PM: By that logic, Trump is the correct pick

Post by: OrangeAfroMan on February 25, 2019, 10:46:58 PM: I have no problem with one team voted over another, I'm just trying to understand the disparity. Did '84 Washington get worse since the initial vote? I was just playing devil's advocate.
