And the answer is: Beat the snot out of teams like we've done... and like we used to do... and then it doesn't matter.
Still love the UT Cotton Bowl. Like a 1000 yards in penalties and we still slaughtered them. I could have sworn Denis mouthed "Fu.. you, we'll beat the crap out of them anyway" after one call.
UGA fans have a great Cotton Bowl memory as well-- "What time is it? It is always 10 to 9 in Texas"
The only reason I mention it here is that it was the 1983 season, and Texas was ranked #2 . Georgia squeaked by Texas 10-9 (in a brutal game to watch), then #4 Illinois choked in the Rose Bowl, getting blown out 45-9 by a 6-4-1 UCLA team that had already lost to both Georgia and Nebraska.
This opened the door for #5 Miami to have a path to the national championship if they could beat Nebraska in the OB, and Miami knew that before kickoff.
And Auburn is *still* *****ing about the final poll...
