In 2000, OU defeated #1 Nebraska, #2 Kansas State, #8 Texas, Kansas State again in the Big 12 champ game, and of course the infamous Torrance Marshall interception against A&M returned for a touchdown to pretty much win the game. Not to mention, someone had to knock out Chris Weinke and the Noles because no one else could.

The key point here is I remember sitting on the couch quite well and witnessing my team win a national championship. I remember the OU National Championship Nike T-Shirt. Since then, I've witnessed OU bring home 2 Heisman trophy winners, 8 conference championships, and win bowl games.

A&M fans can't say they same, you guys have never witnessed your team achieve greatness. Well maybe your grandpa did back in the 1930s.

October 7, 2000: #7 Miami 27, #1 Florida State 24

That same Miami team won 9 straight to close out the season by an average of 29 points.

The same Miami team that beat Florida in the Sugar Bowl.

There is no justifiable metric that should have put Florida State in the National Title game over Miami that year.

Before you make stupid claims, do your homework.

And as far as the 2000 A&M/Oklahoma game, it wasn't the Torrance Marshall interception (in which an Oklahoma defender illegally blocked Mark Farris in front of the ref at the 20 yard line), nor the illegal block/personal foul that wasn't called which knocked Jason Glenn out of the game that clinched it. It was R.C. Slocum's absolute refusal to put Ja'Mar Toombs into the game during any of the plays of A&M's final goal-line series, which started 1st and goal from the Oklahoma 8.
