No. The sportswriter made up their mind before the Orange Bowl that Miami vs. Nebraska was the Natl Title game. They had whined for years about the bowl tie-ins not matching up 1 vs 2. Think for a moment about the sheer stupidity of those days, when the likes of Phillip Marshall, Pawl, etc, decided who got the Natty.

The problem then, was Bowl tie-ins by the leagues.

If that were so, then the sportswriters would've had Nebraska at No. 1 entering the Orange Bowl (like they did), and Miami No. 2.
And the Georgia fan with the 10 to 9 reference made me very, very sad.
