re: Was the '96 FSU/Florida national title rematch as controversial as '11 Bama/LSU?

In 1996, FSU beat Florida 24-21 in the last game of the regular season. Nebraska lost in the Big 12 title game and Florida got a rematch in the national title game, blowing out FSU 52-20.

I was only 10 years old when that game was played and I am curious if it was as controversial as the LSU/Bama rematch was. The scenarios are eerily similar with a close game followed by a blowout in the rematch.

I'm not old enough to remember, but it's different because it wasn't a really a national title game.
