Actually, twenty years on, I gotta agree with ya, considering the polling setup of the time. The major bowl committees had a conniption fit of titanic proportions over it ("A second-rate team winning the national championship in a third-rate bowl game? Sacrilege!") and thus begat the infamous BCS.
A playoff system like the NCAA Final Four for football? Ain't gonna happen, at least not for a long time.
