Michigan should be thankful for the Rose Bowl. That Nebraska team would have beaten the brakes off Michigan if they had played each other in a bowl game.
Agreed, that Nebraska was a bit much for Michigan. One team averaging 47 a game, the other never scored more than 38 all season. I remember radio guy said Neb-8 was the hypothetical line so 70/30 in huskers favor.

Do some research on college football. Winning national titles wasn't a goal. CFB was a regional sport. Winning your conference was the only goal.
Because you couldn't control the whims of the voters...hence, the MNC.
Has it really changed all that much?
Ask FSU...undefeated Conference champs. Same as it ever was, just made for TV ratings now.

A lot of people think Washington should have been crowned in 1984 instead of an average BYU team that beat 6-6 Michigan in the Holiday Bowl.
1984 was just a really weird year in college football.

If I’m not mistaken. Nebraska should have played Michigan in 1997 for the title, but the Big 10 was tied to the Rose Bowl. Thankfully, the Rose Bowl has no real tie ins anymore.
Yes that was the one fault of the Bowl Alliance. The B10 and P10 champs were still required to play in the Rose. Although it certainly benefited UF in 96.

Wasn’t the fault of the Bowl Alliance, it was the fault of the Big 10, Pac 10 and the Rose Bowl for refusing to agree to match 1 vs 2

Yep would have been FSU vs Az St otherwise

BYU rode the wave of this media rebellion against CFB after too many scandals in the mid-80s. There was a palpable backlash against the haves and big time football factories.
In 1985 Sports Illustrated argued for a DIII player to win the Hessian because he wasn't paid like Bo.
