Colorado as recently as 1990?! That honestly blows my mind.

Georgia Tech (11-0-1) and Colorado (11-1-1) both claim the 1990 title. Polls were split between the two, because Tom Osborne got to cast the deciding vote in the Coaches poll. Nebraska had played both teams that year (losing both games), and he probably didn't want to see a conference rival claim it outright. Also, the Huskers got blown out by GT in the Citrus Bowl, so perhaps he felt the Yellowjackets were a better team and had earned the title. Either way, they "shared" it.

One of Colorado's wins that year was the infamous 'Fifth down' game too.

Colorado was pretty relevant almost a decade after that. In 1995, they had seven of the first 71 picks in the NFL Draft. It's crazy how far they've fallen off the map.

Besides the obvious never ending rape allegations and recruiting issues, CU has pretty embarrasing facilities for a major program.

You could easily argue that had Miami beaten OSU in that game, that the official had gifted the Hurricanes. People always forget that the refs called a clear in-bounds first-down catch for the Buckeyes out-of-bounds near the end of regulation. If they get that call right, OSU kills the clock and wins in regulation. I see it as a wash (and I actively dislike the Buckeyes).

IIRC, Miami still had some timeouts and there was well over 2 minutes to play at that point in time. The "pass interference" play literally would have ended the game.

Regardless, it is still sad that a conference so "great" as the B1G has a combined 1.5 titles in the last 44 years. It is by far the worst performance out of any of the major conferences in that time frame.

Don't forget the 2001 season where the Buffs got screwed by the BCS. After beating #2 Nebraska (62-36) to win the Big 12 North title, and then beating #3 Texas to capture the Big 12 Championship, CU got screwed over when Nebraska was selected ahead of them to play in the National Title game. They also played for Big 12 Titles in 2004 and 2005. Since then, they haven't had a +.500 season. Crazy stuff for a program with a ton of history.

Wait, they got jobbed out of a national title shot in 2001 too? Holy ****.

So now that Penn State is back in bowl contention, does USC have to serve Penn St's year?
 
Re: 2014-2015 College Football Thread: A New Era Begins..

I think I hate Penn State more than Michigan now. Their fan base is still touting the same BS narrative that they did nothing wrong and shouldn't have been punished.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're already planning to put the JoePa statue back up.

Yeah, that entire institution and anyone associated with it has completely lost my respect throughout this whole thing. They're all scum.

Just because I was curious, I looked it up. At the end of the play in question there was 2:19 left in regulation and Miami had one timeout left. OSU had to punt from their own 32 instead of having a first down from their own 42. We'll obviously never know what would've happened, but I think it's extremely likely that OSU wins in regulation if that is called correctly, and in the end the team that deserved to win ("deserved" meaning how they played that night, any violations occurring within either program not withstanding) won the game and people often forget blown call #1 that probably led to blown call #2.
You're point about the B1G sucking for decades is accurate.

I'm sure you get this, but just in case: The 4 way tie I was referring to was for the Big Ten Conference title. In any event, good post; it was fun to remember that there was some parity at the national level as well that year...
 
Re: 2014-2015 College Football Thread: A New Era Begins..

They're marching to the stadium right now. Someone brought a cut out of JoePa, they were chanting 409! 409! 409! (JoePa wins pre-sanction). They didn't learn anything. Deserved the death penalty.
 
Re: 2014-2015 College Football Thread: A New Era Begins..

Jesus ****ing Christ.

These are probably the same fcukwads who are *****ing about ray rice and completely ignoring the horrific acts that occurred under the watch of school administrators and the coach of the program. Not just ignored by the administration but actively covered up. And that extends to that scumbag coach paterno as well. He used to be an idol of mine growing up. When I found out he covered this up, I lost every shred of respect I had for him.

These students and every single one of their alumni who support this crap are all child rape enablers. This makes me ****ing sick.

**** Penn State and anyone who still looks up to paterno.
