SEC Shorts - What if SEC Shorts was around in 1998?

SEC Shorts hops in the time machine to go back to the year 1998. A year where Mississippi State won the SEC West and Tennessee dominated the competition on a completely different level. You might be surprised which teams were in the dumpster that year too.

That's why the powers that be set up the BCS so #1 would hafta play #2 to be crowned national champion and try to eliminate controversy with who is truly the best team in college football but in 1997 Nebraska was clearly the best team and would have destroyed Michigan if they would have been pitted together in a bowl game.
