Near the end of the game Gary Bender mentioned Nebraska’s next game would be at Syracuse. Well that didn’t turn out too well for the Huskers as they fell 17-9, effectively ending their National Championship hopes.
@user-em1dw3ft6m Washington had the best claim in 84. I agree BYU winning was laughable especially beating a 6-6 Michigan team in Holiday Bowl. Would have been good to have 2 Champions in 84 with Washington and Florida. Oklahoma and Florida could have both been Champions in 85
@@nathaniellathy6559Florida lost Charley Pell after three games in ‘84 due to recruiting violations which in ‘85 made them ineligible to win the SEC or go to a bowl game. So no, Florida would never be considered for a National Champion. Plus, if you somehow forgot about the violations, they lost one and tied one in both seasons. BYU ended up #1 in both the AP and coaches polls in ‘84. I trust the coaches opinion more than anyone on UA-cam.

BYU won the Natty this year. Both these teams would have beaten them. Still Nebraska was better the year before. UCLA finished strong this season.
Now way, Florida was the legit National Champion in 84 AND 85. BYU and Oklahoma claiming titles those years are laughable.
