6T9 - I understand your points. I just don't agree with all of them. I think we have agreed to disagree. That's cool. At least we both like Mustangs.
89 - I think it goes something like this: "If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts, then we would all have a nice Christmas."
If Shawn Springs wouldn't have slipped against Tia Streets (OSU vs. Mich in 1998, I believe)...then Ohio State would have won.
Ohio State was 6 pts away from a National Championship back in 97 or 98 (I forget which).
If Nebraska could have played like they are capable of playing against Colorado...
We could go on and on.
It is just my opinion that Nebraska doesn't belong in the Title game. Period. Nothing against Nebraska's program at all.
BTW, Oregon lost by what, 6 pts (mostly because of fluke special teams plays)? Nebraska got exposed on national TV. And as for margin of victory, I think they took that out of the BCS formula for a reason.
This has been a good debate, guys. Sounds like we have a common love for college football. I love watching all the bowl games and seeing how everyone fares. Good luck to your teams.
Take it easy,
