I agree with you, except the phatom clip didn't cost ND a natty.

They already had a couple losses that year. One of them late in the year. But it robbed college football fans of the perfect ending to the college career of one of the most electric players ever.

It also allowed a non deserving team to claim the title. Colorado had the infamous 5th down TD against Mizzou that year and should not have been undefeated nor number one.
