Just to throw some more wood on the fire, people have been picking through the final coaches' poll and are finding some surprising ballots. For example, Dennis Franchione ranked Hawaii 22nd, while Hal Mumme had the Rainbows at No. 1. Tommy Bowden had Oklahoma behind Missouri, a team it beat twice this season. And Frank Beamer had his team, Virginia Tech at No. 2, which would have put it in the title game. Sorry, Frank.

Although Southern California was No. 1 in both major polls, it was excluded from the BCS national championship, resulting in a split title. Courtesy of the Tournament of Roses archives.
