Page one of today's USA today:
When Texas, with a final second put back on the clock, beat Nebraska 13-12, it affected the national championship race, the major bowl picture, and even the Heisman.
Article reads that if Nebraska had won:
1. The obvious- Cincinnati most liekly steps into the national champ. game.
2. If Cincinnati is in the champ game, does Kelley leave for Notre Dame?
3. Allowing the clock to run down, ultimately cost Colt the Heisman because fewer then 10% of the voters had voted. The article does suggest that perhaps this was not fair to Colt because he had a splendid four year career. Also mention is the upsurgence of Suh, who would have garnered more votes had Nebraska been allowed to win.
4. B12 champ Nebraska, would have been headed to Fiesta bowl, Texas would have landed a at large bid to a BSC bowl, and Boise State would have been bumped.
5. Brown may not get a $2 million raise.
6. 40,000-60,000 Texas fans already had their plane tickets, hotel rooms, etc; wouldn't have been very happy.
Not really new ground in this article, but it is nice to hear it on a national level.
