Plati-'Tudes Story Time: Consensus National Champions

Another week and still no football games to write about in 2020, here's the third entry of: "Plati-'Tudes Story Time."

BOULDER--This week I thought I'd quickly revisit the '90 season but more so the immediate aftermath and our "consensus" national championship; I don't use "split" as throughout history, several acknowledged organizations crowned champions, not just the Associated Press (media, mostly writers) and United Press International (at first media, then eventually coaches). More on that later.

Now many have blamed Nebraska coach Tom Osborne for causing CU not to be unanimous between the AP and UPI; I never got a confirm of where he actually voted us.
