I think that is a prime example of why it sucked really.

#1 vs #2 should be "the game" that matters. And was really. USC splitting the title was bull shite and against really just highlights the stupidity of the systems. If Penn St wins the sugar bowl it doesn't happen.

That whole situation just sucked. College football was held hostage by the Rose Bowl, Big10 and Pac.

Look at 83 as why it sucked and the TS is wearing nostalgia glasses:

#1 Nebraska = must play in the Orange as Big 8 champ
#2 Texas = must play in the Cotton as SWC champ
#3 Auburn = must play in the Sugar as SEC champ
#4 Illinois = must play in Rose as Big 10 champ
#5 Miami = gets home game against #1

Texas loses, Auburn wins, Illinois loses, Miami beats Nebraska and jumps to #1. Auburn doesn't even finish #2.
