Crazy Football Fights, Fouls, Brutal Tackle
This situation was desperately screaming for a four-team playoff. But I’m not sure what happens even then. Colorado and Georgia Tech are in, obviously, and at 10-1, I guess Texas is, too. But then you’ve got two-loss Miami, two-loss Notre Dame, two-loss Florida State, two-loss Penn State (which hasn’t lost since Sept. 15), and two-loss (and apparently awesome) Washington. (You also had one-loss Houston, which was ineligible for the postseason on account of that whole “nearly getting the death penalty” thing.You could have made a strong case for any of these teams. Hell, you could have made a decent case for two-loss, two-tie SEC champion Tennessee. But leaning on the numbers, I guess the final spot goes to Miami.
So you get 1 Colorado vs. 4 Miami and 2 Georgia Tech vs 3 Texas. Miami likely handles Colorado, and we’ll say Georgia Tech (which beat No. 19 Nebraska in the Citrus Bowl to finish unbeaten) beats Texas, just to avoid a 46-3 national title game between Miami and Texas. (But my goodness, imagine the outcry if Miami has done its Cotton Bowl routine in a title game. The hot takes would still be going on today.)
