[QUOTE="Techster, post: 879304, member: 360"] People often forget how rigid the bowl system was back then. There wasn't much wiggle room to put the "correct" matchups in place....which ultimately led to the BCS and eventually playoffs. It's not like today where the #1 and #2 teams will for the most part be matched up with each other and the biggest controversy is who the #3 and #4 team should be or why a non P5 team might deserve to be in the playoffs. If the #1 and #2 teams played in a bowl game back then, it was a lot of chance and a LOT of finagling among the conferences/bowls/schools to make it happen. National Champions back then were more on the AP and coaches poll...so it became a bit of a dog and pony show with split national championships not uncommon. [/QUOTE]
