In a lot of the cases that was the case, but in 1993, the Orange was actually obligated to take Florida State as this was the 2nd year of the Bowl Coalition and whatever else happened, you needed to get #1 vs. #2 in one of the bowls (except if it was a Big Ten or Pac-10 team due to the Rose Bowl obigation). West Virginia and Nebraska were both undefeated (as was on on-probation Auburn team). Nebraska was #2 AP but #3 coaches'. West Virginia was #3 AP and #2 coaches'. But Florida State, with its 1 loss, was ranked #1 in both polls ahead of both undefeated teams. Whichever team got designated as overall #2 between Nebraska and West Virginia would have to take Florida State. But with the arguments for Florida State in 2023, 1993's title game should have been Nebraska and West Virginia.

I'd rather push my Harley than ride a rice burner.
