Also, 1998 was fairly normal for the 90s, imo. Tennessee was one of the best teams in the nation back then, so it's not like they just lucked into a national championship.

Remember this. That was the first year of the BCS so there were lots of eyes on all the games.
Championship Saturday started with
1 Florida State (not playing, ACC Champ)
2 UCLA (playing USC)
3 Kansas State (playing A&M)
4 Tennessee (playing State)
5 Ohio State (not playing, Big 10 Champ)
UCLA was upset by USC and A&M stormed back and won in overtime against KState. In a span of about an hour, Tennessee went from playing for a spot in the Sugar Bowl to the national championship game. I really think State was able to take advantage because Tennessee played tight. State had a good defense that year and gave them fits until the end.
They even interviewed Tresell in the third quarter because Ohio State has a chance to jump in if State won.
It was actually one of the best days of football in the past 25 years.
