Man, I am getting old. For some reason I kept thinking that was later in the season.

Colorado's NC will always be tainted because of that game.

If you think that was bad, look up how Kansas screwed them out of a national title in 1960.

Colorado is still "reaping" the benefits of the 5th Down karma even 2 decades later, with no sign of bottoming out anytime soon. Frick em.

Georgia Tech actually had a better record than Colorado that year. Georgia Tech was 11-0-1 and Colorado was 11-1-1. Since Colorado was already ranked #1 going into their bowl game, I was surprised that the Coaches Poll decided to jump Georgia Tech above them in the final poll.
