Probably my Big 8 bias but 10-1-1 USC doesn't get the title over 11-0 Oklahoma even though the cheating Sooners were on probation. I know the Trojans got the #1 spot in the coaches poll since they couldn't vote for OU. Same goes for Texas' claim on a 1970 national title from the coaches poll who voted before the Longhorns lost in the Cotton Bowl.Originally posted by Flystripper View Post“Not the victory but the action.

UPI, FWAA and NFF disagree. Three out of the four national champ awards went to the Trojans that yearOriginally posted by Paperback Writer View PostDyslexics are teople poo...Comment

I wonder how many of those votes excluded undefeated OU because the Sooners were on probation and could not play in a bowl game. Nevertheless, USC has a solid claim to a 1974 title and I updated the tables. The Trojans won the Rose Bowl after an impressive victory over a very good Notre Dame team and the Sooners didn't have to take the risk of being upset in a bowl game.Originally posted by Flystripper View Post“Not the victory but the action.

Does he need to retell the story of everyone at BYU wanting Switzer to beat #1 Nebraska in 1984? They even as far as to say it was God's will that they lose so BYU could be #1!Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

The Northwestern-Nebraska series has been exciting and rather unexpected from my point of view. Four of the five games being decided by three points or less including one Hail Mary on the final play of the game just like BYU-Nebraska this year. There's a lot I respect about Northwestern (university and football team).Originally posted by Joe Public View PostNorthwestern is a powerhouseLast edited by Paperback Writer; 12-03-2015, 09:27 AM.“Not the victory but the action.

I wasnt sure where to put this but this seemed as good a place as any, and I very quickly got tired of looking, so here it is:
Lawrence Phillips, who was extremely talented on the field but a big hot mess of trouble off the field, and who I recall being one of those coddled and protected broken people who is given pass after pass due to athletic ability, committed suicide in prison yesterday, where he was likely going to bve charged with capital murder for killing a cell mate. A sad end to his life. May he rest in peace.

I don't know that I would describe Lawrence Phillip's treatment as coddled but the guy certainly was broken and did receive a lot of second chances due to his talent. In retrospect, LP shouldn't have gotten a second chance with Nebraska in 1995. But I do believe that Tom Osborne was doing what he felt was best for LP and not Nebraska football when he allowed LP to play again after a 6-game suspension. The guy was an early Heisman favorite after his outstanding season in 1994 and his performance against a Nick Saban coached Michigan St. team in 1995. Had Osborne kicked LP off the team in 1995, he probably would have ended up in prison sooner.Originally posted by creekster View Post“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game.

I'll never forget Phillips and Frazier running all over an undefeated Florida team in that '96 fiesta bowl for the national championship. It was as if Nebraska was playing a DII team rather than a 12-0 team from the SEC with a future Heisman winner.I'm like LeBron James.
