***

Who should advance: Both of these teams got popped when playing for a national championship by ultra-talented opponents. But Nebraska also got popped during the regular season, getting completely overrun by a talented, though flawed, Colorado team that went on to edge Texas in the Big 12 championship.

Crouch had a memorable final season at quarterback on the way to winning the Heisman Trophy. But he didn’t have nearly as much firepower around him as White did. Peterson was almost a 2,000-yard rusher, and Brown, Joseph and Clayton all had long careers in the NFL. The ’04 Sooners were the more talented team and should advance here.
