I'm reflecting back on our 1997 season since I like living in the past.
It amazing to think just how close we were to being crowned the mythical national champion that season.
With the new playoff structure and the rise of the SEC and now even the ACC, we won't see that opportunity again. Sorry for the pessimism. Like I said last night, only USC and perhaps Furd could win it all in the future. Maybe Oregon too. Not seeing anyone else winning it all from the Pac12. The college football landscape has changed. The ABC and SEC will dominate going forward with Ohio State and Michigan thrown into the mix.
