Even with the blown call they still had 1 loss and 1 tie(if the fifth down isn’t allowed they are 9-2-1). Georgia Tech had only a tie that year and had the split with Colorado for the title. There shouldn’t have been a split, GT should have won it all.
That and Baylor’s academic rep isn’t exactly on a level congruent with what the Pac-10 wants to do.
The only real reason why Tech and Baylor are in the Big XII is because of Texas. If they hadn’t followed along when the SWC died they would be in either the MWC or the C-USA.
And GA Tech wasn't the beneficiary of a blown call all year right? You know this? right?
Were they the beneficiary of two blown calls? No. My argument is that Colorado had a worse record than GTech straight up. Without a blown call. Blown calls considered it is even worse for Colorado. There is no no-call more heinous than the Fifth Down, bar none. Not even the OU-UO fiasco a few years back was as bad. Nebraska’s flea-kicker was not as bad.
Remember I am not making this judgment based off the call, which you seemed stuck on.
Straight up Ga Tech gets their ass kicked vs Colorado. That’s what you seem to be stuck on.
Oh. Now you're stuck on this again. Its no worse than a personal foul that keeps the chains moving for somebody. Try and gain some perspective.
No worse than a personal foul? Seriously? That fifth down is what gave you guys the game. The game was over until that fifth down was given. That is far worse than a personal foul.
Really? Georgia Tech beat Nebraska that year worse than Colorado beat Nebraska. Since as far as I can tell that those are their only common opponents I see no reason why you would say a 11-1-1* Colorado Team would “kick ass” over a 11-0-1 Georgia Tech team.
Raider, as a New Mexico fan I hate BYU as much as anyone, but I will defend their championship. I love that the MWC schools, mainly those that formed the original WAC have become a force in College Football. I hate seeing Utah leave to the PAC-10, but I understand why they are doing it. I also believe that the current expansion garbage going on is a way to keep the MWC from becomming an AQ conference.
I think the Big-12 will steal 3 or 4 teams from the MWC which will kill it off. I see TCU, BYU, New Mexico, and Air Force going to the Big-12 in the near future. I also think the PAC-10 will snap up Boise St and Fresno St before this whole mess is done.
Good luck to your Utes, I believe they will be a force in their new conference.
Not at all. A bad call on a turnover which happens all the time has altered many games. As long as humans referee games mistakes are made. Get over it.
Ya really. Georgia tech’s milktoast schedule sucked. If Tom Osborne didn’t have an axe to grind he wouldn’t have voted for GA Tech in the final poll. they really shouldn’t even have been seriously considered. Don’t be a hater.
