Good memory.It was a split #1. And if I recall, Nebraska had a more impressive season and should've been unanimous #1. But Imma let them cook or else ed will write an essay otherwise.
The 1997 Nebraska team went 13-0 (Michigan went 12-0).
#2 Nebraska beat #3 Tennessee 42-17 (yes, Peyton Manning's team) in the Orange Bowl.
#1 Michigan beat #8 Washington State (Ryan Leaf's team) 28-16 in the Rose Bowl.
