#1 Colorado beat #4 Notre Dame
#2 Miami beat #3 Michigan
Who wins the championship game?
1 - Colorado 11-0, Big 8 Champions
Only undefeated team in 1-A.
4th in scoring offense
8th in scoring defense
33rd in strength of schedule
The Buffs beat 3 ranked opponents in 1989 - blowing out #10 Illinois and #21 Washington, and a six-point win over #3 Nebraska. The explosive option offense hit 40+ points in seven of eleven games. Rushed for 371 yds per game - both QB Darian Hagan and JJ Flannigan going for over 1,000 yards and 15+ TDs each. Great return game and AA punter. Not built to come from behind, Hagan threw as many INTs as TDs, but any completed pass was for a long gainer.
2 - Miami (FL) 10-1, Independent
8th in scoring offense
1st in scoring defense
40th in strength of schedule
The Canes played 3 ranked teams as well, losing @ #9 FSU by 14, but beating #14 Pitt and #1 ND by 3+ scores each. The defense held 8 of 11 opponents to 10 points or less. Lethargic running game was merely a change-of-pace from the lethal passing attack manned by 2 QBs (Erickson and Torretta). Averaging 300+ yards passing per game to speedy receivers was offset by throwing almost as many INTs as TDs. The secondary was ball-hawking, snagging 21 INTs themselves, but the strength of the team was the run defense: 69 yards rushing allowed per game.

Voted for Colorado. If instant reply had been in existence , Miami would not have won the Sugar Bowl. Lost fumbles during two scoring drives that were not ruled fumbles. Clearly would have been overturned with replay.

I couldn't vote against one of the few top defenses of all time.
-
It wouldn't have been the Wolverines.
-
For cryin' out loud.....:91:
-
I don't like voting for Ralphie, but it's better than voting for the Co-Canes
-
At no point while casting your vote did you consider who would win if they played, did you?
-
at some point, but many times, the team that I'm pretty sure will win, does not win, so that's not so important
-
Egads!
-
hey, I didn't flip a coin
-
Well, why can't there be coMNCs just like 90 or 91?
-
:67: because it's a PLAYOFF.....?!?
-
damn playoffs
-
I'll just have to print out these teams and play it myself with Whoa Nellie. It's the only way.
