Don't forget this at that time OU was bad due to Switzer leaving 2 years earlier, OSU went bad the day Barry Sanders left, Iowa State Kansas and Kansas State, and Missouri were jokes before they got good in the late 90's. The two good teams were CU and of course Nebraska.Now lets look at the ACC, Virginia was bowl eligible, Clemson with Danny Ford ruled the ACC in the 80's,Duke yes Duke made it to a bowl two years earlier,FLORDIA STATE, North Carolina with Mack Brown.The ACC was just better.

I'm sorry who lost a game that season and barely won against Notre Dame because of a clipping penalty, aaahh CU. Who didn't lose a game, had one tie, and destroyed Nebraska and didn't have to have a penalty to win their bowl game, Georgia Tech. The Big 8 that time was a joke except for Nebraska and CU. At least the ACC had some good competition Georgia Tech had to play but still without those lucky breaks like the 5th down and the Notre Dame clipping penalty, CU wouldn't even compare to GT.

I would take that CU team over an overrated GT team that played a far easier schedule.

You're leaving out games on CU's schedule. They tied highly ranked Tenn. They beat an outstanding Washington team one year prior to one of the most dominating seasons in college football history. They beat Texas. They beat ND back when that meant something.BlueHoseJacket, you minimize the cumulative effect of a gauntlet schedule like that. There simply were no breathers.On the Neb comparison, CU played a healthy undefeated Husker team in Lincoln with NC implications on the line.

Georgia Tech & Missouri were both screwed by this call. I have heard for years that GT had an easier schedule than CU blah,blah,blah.GT beat Clemson 21-23Col. lost to Ill 21-17Clemson destroyed Ill 30-0GT went to #1 UVA and won 41-38UVA beat Kansas 59-10Col. beat Kansas 41-10Col. beat Neb 21-12GT beat Neb 45-21While I don't like comparing scores of non-head to head games....I don't appreciate being told that GT had a week schedule.
