@creepycoug That was a great Miami team. No doubt, it really was. It was nice to see them put up 460 yards on Nebraska but lest we forget UW hung over 620 on them in Lincoln. Miami also had a month to get their option reads down. UW had a week. By late second quarter Nebraska had nothing left offensively on my Dwags. UW had it all sniffed out. Yes FSU scored 51 on Michigan, they also gave up 31 to a team UW was up on 34-7 until Wheatley ran for 70 on the second string defense late in the game. Oh Don James, you classy fucker. That Rose Bowl could have been 48-7 if DJ was say, Dennis Erickson. Just my 2 cents brother, nothing personal.
I think multiple things can true at once in this age old debate.
Yes, @creepycoug is right that Miamuh hosting Big Red in the Orange Bowl ain't quite like UW hosting Nebraska for a home game in Seattle. This is fair.
But at the same, time UW going into Lincoln early in the season ain't like Miamuh playing Nebraska down the street from Coral Gables.
I'm also a traditionalist who never had a problem with the old ways of College Football and co-national champs. The BCS was NOT an improvement for the sport in my opinion.
