Bye bye Oregon AND the SEC?

[D-train]

They joined the year they and the Huskies "split" the national title? Weird, i had always assumed they had been in the Big East forever.

Yeah I wonder if they were still independent the idiot writers would have voted them #1. btw it was 32-28. Coaches poll was 33.5-28.5

Remember this???

Miami closed the 1991 season with a 22–0 shutout over No. 11 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, but their season was defined by a dramatic November victory over then No. 1 ranked and perennial rival Florida State. That game ended with the FSU place kicker missing a field goal, wide right, which would become a theme in the Florida State–Miami football rivalry; this game later took on the moniker "Wide Right I."

I of course went to the Rose bowl that year. I vividly remember getting a USA today out of a paper box outside of a Dennys in Pasadena and quickly flippy to the Sports section to see that their was a split National Title. I was so pissed. I then went in, had breakfast with my three buddies. I had no cash so paid the whole bill with my credit card and my buddies gave me cash for their so I would have cash for the drive home to Seattle. lol

I did! Shit.

How could you? They are the only school that has switched conferences since we were kids. lol

I would be a good contest to try to come up with what the power 6 conferences consisted of in about 1980

Big 10
Big 8
SWC
SEC
ACC
Pac 10

Reminder that the P12 was not the first Power conference to implode. SWC was just about as prestigious in the 50s-80s

What about the Big East with Miami back in the 80's?

The big East was the shit back in the day. They had Penn St. applying to be a member at on point to join up with Miami, WV, Syracuse, and the like. The Bige East/ ACC Challenge was the premier hoops match-up program on ESPN. Dickie V " You better get a T.OHHHHH Baby!"
