re: Is Barry Switzer the GOAT college football head coach?

He's won 5 of the big 6 now. Unless he won a Peach then he's won all 6.

I earlier mistakenly credited Stoops with first to win 5 thank you for correcting me.

Looked it up. He never appeared in the Peach.

He made the Fiesta a major bowl. They were one of the few bowls where both spots were at-large. Miami and Penn State were both independents and both undefeated so the Fiesta matched them up.

It was supposedly a joke--Penn State didn't belong on the same field. Had Miami won big, Penn State would have been viewed as a Boise. But wiht the upset, the Fiesta became a big-time bowl.
