Even after Nebraska lost, it wasn't a national title game (yet). We needed #2 Arizona St to lose in the Rose Bowl as well.

I was wondering this also. With #1 FSU and #2 ASU being undefeated, why did they not play each other in the title game? I know we did not have the BCS then, but we still had a bowl coalition starting in 1992 that tried to match the top two teams. Was it a Rose Bowl issue I am assuming?
