You forget that Nebraska has played all of its games while Florida has at least one(#4 Tennessee) and probably two(LSU or Auburn). IMHO, if Florida beats UT, plays Auburn and beats them soundly, UF should jump Miami to #1. But it wont happen. It should, because Miami will have beaten relatively nobody. But it wont. Most of the country is biased against Florida(and Notre Dame).

With good reason, everyone hates someone who regularly gets special treatment and then whines in the rare instance that they are treated like everyone else. Its called tie goes to Notre Dame(and now Florida teams), just ask any Michigan State fan with a long memory. But at least Notre Dame isn't afraid of a tough non-conference game outside of its state. And how many teams lose in November and then get a second chance in a bowl to beat that same team for the nat'l championship? That was utterly bogus.

Nope, haven't forgot. I'm simply stating the situation as it is today. Also, if Florida and Miami win out Miami will probably stay #1.

P.S. Can name a team that was National Champs, but not State Champs?

Hey, come on. Troy State, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, Temple . . . Miami had one tough schedule. And I hear next year they're going to play the Greater Toledo YMCA College of Toaster Repair.
