1997: This was the year when Michigan's defense was suffocating opponents, Nebraska was closing the curtain on Tom Osborne's legendary career, and the biggest debate in America wasn't whether Jack could have fit on the door in Titanic—it was whether Michigan or Nebraska deserved to be called national champion. Back then, the Bowl Alliance was supposed to help college football crown a true No. 1. Spoiler alert: it didn't. Because while Michigan was celebrating a Rose Bowl victory over Washington State, Nebraska was dismantling Tennessee in the Orange Bowl. The polls split. The trophies split. And one of the greatest arguments in college football history was born. Meanwhile, Titanic was breaking box-office records, people were tying up the family phone line to connect to the internet, but today… we're rewriting history. Let’s build the bracket:
- Michigan Wolverines
- Nebraska Cornhuskers
- Tennessee Volunteers
- Florida State Seminoles
- UCLA Bruins
- Florida Gators
- North Carolina Tar Heels
- Washington State Cougars
- Ohio State Buckeyes
- Kansas State Wildcats
- Penn State Nittany Lions
- Colorado State Rams (18)First team out: Georgia Bulldogs
