Had Texas not received a do-over (one second) to cement their win, the BCS would likely have placed Florida and Alabama back in the championship game. Strength of schedule, especially on the computer side of things, would have made the difference.
Don’t forget the bone-headed play by the Nebraska kicker who kicked the ball out of bounds and gave Texas the ball on their 40. That was a gift. Also Texas escaped with a win. That should have counted against them. Well at least Florida lost!
I don’t think they would have done that. The idea of playing the same game twice would have scared them. They probably would have put Cincinnatti against Alabama.
There’s no way that would have happened. Cincinnati would have played Alabama in Pasadena.
