Beat the unbeaten Gators only to have to replay them for the National Championship game.
Arizona State was #2 but was obligated to play in the Rose Bowl where they lost to Ohio State and #3 Nebraska lost in the Big 12 Championship game thus the rematch which really wasn't fair. We still can't get the post season right in College Football to this day.
