'Split' title 35 years ago? Don't tell Colorado and Georgia Tech that

The article discusses the upcoming matchup between Colorado and Georgia Tech, which takes place 35 years after the two teams controversially shared the 1990 national title. In 1990, Colorado and Georgia Tech both finished the season with identical 11-1 records, but there was a dispute over which team should be awarded the national championship. The debate centered around Colorado's loss to Illinois, which was later overturned due to a refereeing error, and Georgia Tech's loss to USC, which was more controversial. Ultimately, the two teams were declared co-national champions, a decision that remains a point of contention 35 years later. As they prepare to face off in Week 1 of the current season, the lingering effects of that controversial 1990 decision are still felt by both programs. The article highlights the enduring impact of the 1990 national title split, and how it continues to shape the narratives and rivalries surrounding these two teams as they meet again decades later.
