I was wondering this also. With #1 FSU and #2 ASU being undefeated,
In 96 the Rose bowl was still not a part of the process. So, by contact, #2ASU/#4OSU in Rose, #3UF/at large. Sugar made the obvious and best choice of #1FSU. For fan reaction the best thing is to google old newspaper articles or find a Seminole site with some older posters who are fairly reasonable to give you their view. If I had interest I'd do it...but, honestly, no interest.

Now what would be interesting is to find out the impact of this game on Rose Bowl acquiescing and joining BCS. #2 ASU was shut out of NC and maybe this was the catalyst for their change of heart. Been too long ago for me to remember.

Thanks for the info. People cry about the BCS a lot, but it is 10x better than the system used before it.
