□ Despite concerns, the
No. 1 and No. 2 teams
will face each other in
the Fiesta Bowl.
(AP) - The much-maligned
bowl alliance worked perfectly in
its rookie season.
The system was supposed to
produce a national championship
game, and that’s what it did.
Top-ranked Nebraska (11-0)
and No. 2 Florida (12-0) will
play for the title Jan. 2 in the
Fiesta Bowl. The winner of the
game between the nation’s only
undefeated, untied teams will
be the undisputed champ of col
lege football.
“We have one more bridge to
cross, one more obstacle,” Florida
safety Lawrence Wright said.
“We can either go around it or
through it.”
The Nebraska-Florida matchup
would have been impossible under
the old system of conference tie-
ins. Nebraska would have gone to
the Orange Bowl as the Big Eight
champion and Florida would have
gone to the Sugar Bowl as the
Southeastern Conference winner.
Now, except for the Rose
Bowl’s agreement with the Pac-
10 and Big Ten, league champi
ons are free to play each other
in the Fiesta-Orange-Sugar
bowl alliance.
The Fiesta Bowl’s dream game
became a reality Saturday night
when Florida beat Arkansas 34-3
for the SEC championship. Flori
da is seeking its first national ti
tle, while Nebraska is trying to
become the first team to win con
secutive championships since Al
abama in 1978-79.
There have been 10 other 1-
2 matchups in bowl history.
The most recent was No. 1
Florida State’s 18-16 victory
over No. 2 Nebraska in the
1994 Orange Bowl.
That was Nebraska’s last loss.
The Comhuskers have won 24 in
a row and need one more win to
become the first team to win two
straight national titles with per
fect records since Oklahoma in
1955-56.
The Fiesta Bowl will be a game
of contrasts: Florida’s high-tech
“Fun ’N Gun” passing show vs.
Nebraska’s ground-and-pound op
tion attack, outspoken Steve
Spurrier vs. low-key Tom Os
borne, and Danny Wuerffel’s pin
point passes vs. Tommie Frazier’s
elusive runs.
“I don’t think Nebraska
is more physical than us,”
Wright said. “We’re not scared
of anybody.”
Nebraska tight end Mark
Gilman said the Huskers are
more versatile than most peo
ple think.
“We often get stereotyped as a
running team only, but that does
n’t mean we can’t catch the ball,
too,” he said.
Wuerffel threw for 276 yards
and two touchdowns against
Arkansas and finished the season
with the highest pass efficiency
rating in NCAA history. Now he
must wait until Saturday to find

out if that was enough to beat out
Frazier and Ohio State’s Eddie
George for the Heisman Trophy.
“I’m not even sure how that
goes or who votes or anything,”
Wuerffel said. “But it’s an honor
to be mentioned. It’s a credit to
the teammates around me.”
The Orange and Sugar bowls
made their selections Sunday.
The Orange took No. 6 Notre
Dame (9-2) and No. 8 Florida
State (9-2), while the Sugar got
No. 9 Texas .(10-1-1) and No. 13
Virginia Tech (9-2).
Texas earned an alliance berth
by beating No. 19 Texas A&M 16-
6 Saturday for the final South
west Conference championship.
The 81-year-old league is disband
ing, and both schools are joining
the new Big 12 Conference.
“The SWC era is over and I’ll
have fond memories of the good
times and the good friends,” Texas
A&M coach R.C. Slocum said.
It’s been the best of times for
No. 3 Northwestern (10-1), which
will play No. 17 Southern Cal (8-2-
1) in the Rose Bowl. Northwest
ern’s only other postseason game
was the 1949 Rose Bowl, where
the Wildcats beat California 20-14.
