    @creepycoug and I have talked about this a lot over the years. But we all know his winning the wrong way convicts would have plungered Stoops in the Orange Bowl that year.

    I was thinking about the rankings that year. Miami beat FSU but FSU played in the BCS natty game?

    And yeah, I thought at the time that Oklahoma would’ve been a favorable matchup for UW.

    It should have been UW v Oklahoma

    We would have won too.

    Fuck it. I’m claiming 2000 too
    It's the Washington way.

    At the end of the season, there wasn't a better team in the country than the Canes.

    With that said, I miss the arguments about who should be in what bowl. It made it all much more interesting.

    I would have liked Washington's chances against the Sooners; but I can virtually guarantee Miami would have beaten them soundly.

    As the people in charge of killing college football decide how many teams to expand the playoff to we once again find ourselves wondering if there will be 4 teams this year worthy of the honor

    The plus one after the bowls makes so much damn sense that it will never happen

    It would restore the magic of the game and make it different from the NFL.

    Saw this morning a very good point - with a 12 or 8 team playoff the Ohio State Michigan State game would be meaningless. Like most NFL games

    UW beat Miami who beat FSU

    FSU was the worst choice of the three

    UW was not overwhelming anyone that year but they beat two top 5 teams. A regular Purdue who they also beat in the consolation Rose Bowl.

    Also always hard to bet against Tui.

    Oklahoma had a stingy D as I recall. But that Orange Bowl was boring af to watch. I think if Snoop Minnis doesn't miss that game on account of a lack of academis prowess FSU probably wins. He was far and away Weinkedinkie's favorite target that season.

    The boovs were great by the end of the year too.
    That's true. They were. Their matchup with ND that year did them no favors, as I recall nobody thought ND belonged in the Fiesta.

    I would’ve loved to see Oregon St vs Miami in a bowl game that year.

    It still boggles my mind that FSU made the natty over UW or Miami.

    Still can't remember the rationale. That said, I remember not being a loud voice for Miami that year because, like @RaceBannon , I have consistently held to the view that head to head has to matter. Yeah, Miami had the better argument over FSU, and UW had the better argument over Miami. What made it a real bitch was that both head to heads - Miami / UW and Miami / FSU were close games. It was a wonderful clusterfuck and Race and some of the other old timers here and I had a great time jawboning about it 21 years ago. I'm good with the way it used to work and don't really GAF that Oklahoma got a slightly discounted natty. I mean, the fuck ... playing any FSU team back in those days was no picnic for anyone, and that's who they drew, they won, end of discussion. It's a fun historical footnote.

    No team leaves natties on the table like Miamuh and they still have way more than 3 of out 4 on Mt Rushmore in my lifetime.

    You're good when you are as famous for the losses as the wins. Need a lot of wins

    Jack Nicklaus finished 2nd in 19 majors. What a choke artist. Wait, he won 18

    The boovs were Miami of the west that year. I think this would have been the best matchup of that bowl season by a wide margin provided it didn't turn into a full on brawl on the field.

    If @creepycoug had just renovated the Orange Bowl, I would have let him onto Mt Rushmore.

    But I just can't do it with Hard Rock Casino. Gibsons are for fags.
