Then you must admit that Penn State deserves a share of the '94 title. You may have played a tougher OOC slate, but the Big Ten was better than the Big 8 that year.
You can have '94 and '95, but everyone recognizes Charles Woodson's Michigan team as the Rose Bowl and National Champs of '97.

Sure the MU game was a bad one for NU in 1997 but we admit that. Our play vs. Mizzou in '97 was not a blown call by the ref like the 5th down. No way for the ref to know if the kick was intentional or not. It only took the game into OT as well and we won in OT. Not like the immaculate reception in and of itself won the game. Plus MU was 7-5 in 1997 and 4-7 in 1990. Just something to take into consideration. In 1997 we won most all of our games easily (sans MU) unlike CU in 1990. We killed #3 Tennessee in the Orange Bowl (Peyton Manning anyone?) 42-17 how did CU do in their bowl game again?
We also won ALL our games in 1997. No loss or tie on our record. It was a more difficult year to win an NC apparently and we are just glad to get a share of the title since we had a difficult schedule and won all our games. We deserved a share of the title since we won ALL our games. We also split the title in 1970 with Texas. Texas got voted #1 before their bowl game, which they lost, but I am sure you think Texas deserved the split?
