Nobody cried in 1991 when once beaten fsu got into the championship game against undefeated Nebraska despite the fact that fsu skipped over undefeated West Virginia.
I also didn’t hear too many complaints when once beaten fsu got into the national title game in 2000 ahead of the one loss miami team that beat them head to head.
That was 1993. They should have put WV in the Orange against Nebraska, but it wasn’t ever possible for Nebraska to not play a Florida team in the Orange Bowl back then..lol. Of course the two years Colorado went, they got Notre Dame.
