Michigan and Nebraska had common opponents. Nebraska struggled, Michigan didn't.

Michigan also had twice as many wins where they struggled, despite playing one fewer game.

Michigan was also statistically worse in basically every single category.



Lolz this is fun.

You mean against teams Nebraska never faced? Just so i understand your argument -- Michigan dominated the two teams both Nebraska and Michigan faced, outscoring them 65-6, while those same teams put up 45 points on Nebraska, and Nebraska needed a late 4th quarter stop to beat Colorado. But those games do matter? That makes sense to you?:headscratch:

You are literally arguing Nebraska is better for beating up teams Michigan didn't face, while ignoring the games you can literally compare the two teams performances.

Tom Osborne wasn't dumb. There is a reason he announced his retirement when he did, right before #2 Nebraska's bowl game. He KNEW it'd get them sympathy votes from coaches, especially coaches he had coached alongside for many, many years. It was a retirement gift, as they knew UM was getting the AP poll.

I understand why Nebraska fans are white knuckling 1997, as it will likely be the last time they sniff a title, as they are no longer a big fish in the Big 12. They are a middling team in the weak division of the B1G. They no longer have a national rival and instead their rivals are Iowa and Wisconsin. Unless CFP completely changes how recruiting is done or allow Nebraska to move their school to another state -- they will NEVER, as in EVER, recruit like the elite programs, so 97 is likely their swan song.

Fair, but only because they aren't in the same division anymore. Michigan is, and within the last 25 years has won, and is currently in line to be one of 4 to win one this year. So my statement stands.

Winning alot isn't 1 in 25 years. The fact this has to be explained to you is ridiculous. If UM had been competing for national titles and lost multiple times over those 25 years -- I can understand your statement. That is most definitely not the case.

y? Nebraska was Undefeated, had 2 one score games, Michigan had 4. Nebraska won by more points on average than Michigan. Who else should have been there ?

Nebraska would’ve beat the shit out of those overrated Wolverines. Too bad Michigan was scared and hid against a lesser opponent in the Rose Bowl.

Yes -- I'm sure Nebraska just let up on the two teams UM beat the shit out of, while Nebraska almost lost Colorado. I'm sure Nebraska let those teams score 45 points on them, while they score 6 on UM.

But tell us more about the teams Michigan didn't face -- it is priceless listening to the argument. Disregard that UM gave up 6 to Baylor and Colorado, while Nebraska gave up 45. Disregard that UM outscored those teams by 59, while Nebraska only beat them by 27. Those games don't matter. It is the games against teams UM didn't face that truly matter. :pound:

"Michigan, 1997

In a year in which Michigan's Charles Woodson won a controversial Heisman vote over Tennessee's Peyton Manning, the Wolverines were voted No. 1 by the AP Poll over an undefeated Nebraska juggernaut, which won the ESPN/USA Today national title.

In the usually tough Big Ten, Michigan ended up being the only conference member to finish in the top 10 of the final AP rankings. Arguably, their best three wins were against Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisconsin, teams that got beaten handily by SEC teams in their bowl games.

Why does it matter that they got beat by opponents from the SEC? Because co-national champion Nebraska steamrolled SEC champion Tennessee in the Orange Bowl, 42-17. Meanwhile, Michigan was scraping by outmatched Washington State in the Rose, 21-16.

Had Michigan and Nebraska played a game for all the marbles, it is likely that the Cornhuskers would've been favored and, as most experts agreed at the time, the Huskers probably would've won the game handily."

Why are you trying to simplify this for Nebraska fans ... they are dealing with their Michigan envy that has been present for 25 years. Yes, they were undefeated and there should have been a playoff ... but damn to hold on to something for a quarter of a century. Be a goldfish Nebraska fans, forget 1997 and think about your next game.
