Why does everyone think Ohio State in 2002 was so suspect? They had a lot of close games but beat Miami, who was viewed as near-unbeatable.

Isn't that pretty much exactly what Alabama did in 1992?



2002 Ohio State needed the refs to beat Miami in the national championship game while 1992 Alabama thoroughly beat down Miami in the Sugar Bowl. That's the main difference between the two.

The part people forget is that Miami needed the refs at the end of regulation to make the FG in the 4th quarter. Go back and watch it, and you'll see Miami was lucky to even get overtime.
