Absolutely royal screwjob that that team didn't win the national championship.

A very convincing argument can be made that it is one of the most egregious screwjobs in football history.

Miami beating Nebraska vaulted them from 5th to 1st.

I agree. That '83 AU team played the toughest schedule by far that year. They were screwed by being obligated to the Sugar Bowl while Miami was not obligated to any bowl; thus the Canes got to sugar-pick their bowl and play the #1 team...sort of similar to what happened to Bama in '77...
