The only reason they got in that game was that The Citadel backed out of their game with Auburn to play Oklahoma and the only replacement team Auburn could find on such short notice was Ball St.
That's a little backward. Bowling Green bought out its game with Auburn to play Oklahoma since the ADs were buddies. Auburn had to scramble to find someone and landed with Citadel.
Pretty big coincidence that AU and OK became the two teams vying for that #2 spot. The Citadel game gave the talking heads the excuse they needed to move Auburn down and put Oklahoma in, but we all know that even if Bowling Green had played Auburn then they would've put the Sooners in the title game anyway.
I was so salty during that season, but now I realize that someone would've been left out anyway. Would've been the perfect year for the playoff. USC vs Utah, Oklahoma vs Auburn. Although they may have taken Texas instead of Utah for that 4th spot.

I am getting old!! Screwed that whole thing up. My point still stands, though.

I still thought OU deserved in, but AU/USC would've been fun that year.
Agree 100%, that would've been good for a playoff. That Utah team was really good. Texas and Cal (with the GOAT QB, Aaron Rodgers) had great teams as well.
