It’s nearly 2,700 miles from the
Holiday Bowl in San Diego to the
Orange Bowl in Miami, but this post
season the two are entwined.
You’ll have to forgive Orange
Bowl officials for being biased, but
they’re pulling for five-time loser
Michigan to knock off unbeaten, No.
1 Brigham Young in the Holiday
Bowl on Dec. 21.
Their reasoning is simple.
If Brigham Young loses, the
Orange Bowl matchup between No.
2 Oklahoma and No. 3 Washington,
the night of Jan. 1, will be a sliow-
down for the national
championship.
Don’t let Michigan’s 6-5 record
deceive you. The Wolverines played
seven teams that also got bowl bids
this year, beating two of those and
losing by only two points to two oth
ers.
The Orange Bowl kept hoping
that BYU’s weak schedule would dis
suade voters from picking the Cou
gars No. 1, but being the only Divi
sion I-A unbeaten, untied team in
the country has put them there the
last three weeks.
Less than a month ago, the
Orange Bowl wasn’t concerned
about Brigham Young because it
planned to pair then No. 1 Nebraska
against then No. 2 South Carolina
and leave the rest of the bowls far to
the rear. There was always the
chance that Oklahoma might beat
Nebraska, and did, but the real sur
prise was when Navy knocked South
Carolina out of the unbeaten ranks.
One had the feeling the Orange
Bowl was never convinced that
South Carolina was as good as its re
cord and, rather than wait to see
how the Cinderella Gamecocks fared
in their finale at Clemson, quickly
turned to Washington.
South Carolina, slipping to No. 7,
will still play a team from the state of
Oklahoma — the Gamecocks take on
No. 9 Oklahoma State in the Gator
Bowl.
“We’re appreciative of the invita
tion,” said South Carolina coach Joe
Morrison, who indicated earlier that
talk about the Orange Bowl and a
possible national championship
played a role in the loss to Navy.
“Playing in any bowl game is a re
ward for a good season and we had a
fine season. But we don’t want to
lose sight of the fact that we are
going to Jacksonville to win a ball
game.”
Last year, the Southeastern Con
ference was 5-2 in post-season play
with Alabama (Sun), Auburn
(Sugar), Florida (Gator), Georgia
(Cotton) and Tennessee (Citrus) re
turning home winners and Ken
tucky (Hall of Fame) and Ole Miss
(Independence) losing. But the SEC
is not expected to do that well this
time.
No. 6 Florida, the SEC’s top-
ranked team, has been barred from
bowl play because of pending NCAA
probation and Alabama, after post
ing its first losing season (5-6) in 27
years, is staying home for the first
time in 26 years.
Auburn losing to Alabama this
past Saturday flip-flopped the SEC’s
representation in the Sugar and Lib
erty bowls. Now, No. 12 LSU, 8-2-1
but hobbled by injuries the second
half of the season, plays No. 4 Ne
braska in New Orleans while Au
burn, No. 1 in preseason and No. 19
at present, plays Arkansas in the Lib
erty Bowl.
The other SEC entries, all un
ranked, are Georgia, which lost its
last three games, against No. 16
Florida State in the Citrus Bowl,
Tennessee against No. 11 Maryland
in the Sun Bowl, and Kentucky
against No. 17 Wisconsin in the Hall
of Fame Bowl.
“Beating Auburn doesn’t erase six
losses,” said Alabama Coach Ray
Perkins, who has been under fire
from Crimson Tide fans who con
sider any loss a personal affront.
“But it sure makes it easier to live
around here the next 364 days.”
Galen Hall, former offensive
coordinator who took over from
ousted Charley Pell after Florida’s
third game and wound up being
named SEC Coach of the Year, says
the Gators (9-1-1) are better than
any team going to a bowl this season.
“With tne schedule we faced and
the adversity we faced, we were the
best college football team in the na
tion,” Hall said. “What happens in
the bowls happens in the bowls, but
we hope what we’ve done this season
will convince people we’re the best
team in the country.”
TV football wreaks
havoc with Big Ten
United Press International
CHICAGO — Fans of the Illinois
football team this year needed to
carry along the local newspaper tele
vision guides just to be able to follow
the patchwork quilt of times the Illini
played.
Originally, the team was to have
played at either 6 p.m. or 1 p.m., de
pending upon the game and the site.
But thanks to the Supreme
Court’s unleashing of college foot
ball telecasts on the country, Illinois
never seemed to play at the same
time from one week to the next.
To accomodate national tele
vision, the Illini played some games
at 11 a.m.; others were at 2:45 p.m.;
some were at 6 p.m., others at 7 p.m.
The team managed even to revert to
the traditional starting time of 1
f ).m., which used to be the normal
or football back in the old days
when only one or two games were
televised each week.
“I can tell you one thing for cer
tain; all of the Illinois games are
going to start at 1 p.m. next year,”
said Illinois Coach Mike White. “It’s
got to be a little tiring, to say the
least, playing the games at a differ
ent time from one week to the next.”
Of course, Illinois won’t have the
choice of moving its games for tele
vision next year. The Illini, who
were put on two years’ probation by
the NCAA for recruiting violations,
were banned from television appear
ances for one year.
Illinois elected to take the ban in
the 1985 season, meaning Illinois
would have been blacked out all year
regardless of White’s preference.
But the tilting back and forth
from one time to another for college
football telecasts caused some irrita
tions among the coaches who had to
change the pre-game planning for
some teams.
“I frankly never liked having to
play a night game and having to sit
around all day with nothing to do,”
said Northwestern Coach Dennis
Green. “You just as soon get to play
ing the game. I know Illinois had a
terrible time. They weren’t the only
ones. The networks were changing
times every week, it can be disrup
tive.”
Notre Dame never knew from one
week to another what time their
games would be on. Whether that
was a reason for some early disap
pointments in the Irish football cam
paign this year is a question.
“It’s just too tough on the players
to keep them corralled all day long,”
said Irish Coach Gerry Faust. “Par
ticularly when you’re on the road
and then you have to fly back home
afterwards. Evening games, I’d pre
fer not to play them but you really
don’t have a choice.”
Big Ten Commissioner Wayne
Duke, who has been involved for
several years with high-level football
and basketball television negotia
tions with the networks and private
sponsors, believes some standardiza
tion may take place in starting times.
“I think next year you will see
some normalcy returning to the
starting times,” Duke said. “I think
that everyone is concerned about
oversaturation and something is
going to be done about it.”
That could come as early as the
middle of December when athletic
directors and conference commis
sioners convene in Dallas to try to
make some sense of the future of
college football on television.
Oversaturation as much as the
change in starting times each week is
a prime concern.
“We hope we can get together and
get some answers,” Duke said. “At
least we will try.”
The Big Ten and Pac-10 nego
tiated separately with CBS last sum
mer after the high court knocked
down the NCAA exclusivity for tele
casting college football. The College
Football Association, composed of
most of the other major Division I
schools, signed a separate pact with
ABC.
The Big Ten commissioned a
study at the middle of the year to de
termine how many games were
going into their major markets. The
Big Ten has some of the bigger mar
kets in the country. The study dis
covered that the number of games
being televised was much higher
than anyone had predicted.
“We’re talking more than just the
major networks and their control
over times and that type of thing,”
Duke said.
Chicago, for example, had 88
games available. Bloomington, Ind.,
had 48; Columbus, Ohio, 74; Detroit
73; Indianapolis 66. The Des
Moines-Iowa City, Iowa region had a
whopping total of 98 games, or
nearly 8 games per week available on
television.
Obviously, each game can’t start at
the same time. Sponsors would not
buy up enough of the commercials
for such head-to-head competition.
As a result, the starting times had to
be staggered to avoid having so
many games on the tube at the same
time.
But this also led to the problems
that White mentioned, causing time
changes on a week-to-week basis for
his team.
