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.

Michigan had to split the 1997 title because of Rose Bowl issues if I remember right and the BCS started in 1998. Michigan beat #8 Washington St in the Rose and undefeated Nebraska beat Tennessee for the split title. The Big Ten/Pac 12 moves slower than a turtle and will only change if they start to get the raw end of a deal.

Funny how Delaney was so adamantly opposed to a playoff or even a plus 1 only a few years ago and now the SEC wins 6 straight and he wants a playoff.
