1969 was 56 years ago. For comparison’s sake, that was eleven years before Mississippi State refused an offer to Jerry Rice.

There were so many rivalry games that proved this point last week. Eg: 4-7 Wisconsin at 6-5 Minnesota in an ugly game in the snow was kind of awesome.

Yeah? Then why didn’t they decline the Sun Bowl in 2023 on that logic? Or the Gator Bowl in 2022?

They refuse to join a conference, and refuse a bowl bid. Every P5 school should refuse to schedule them. Let them reap what they’ve sowed and become irrelevant.

I’m not disputing your reasoning on that point. I’m saying Miami should’ve been ahead from the first release.

If only head to head mattered then FSU would get in over Bama. But for otherwise comparable teams, head-to-head should obviously be the most important data point.
