1984 Holiday Bowl
The 1984 Holiday Bowl was one of the games that determined the national championship in college football for the 1984 season. Played on December 21, 1984 at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, California, it pitted the BYU Cougars against the Michigan Wolverines; BYU won the game, 24-17. The attendance of 61,248 was a record for Jack Murphy Stadium at that time.
==National championship==
At the conclusion of the 1984 college football season, BYU was the only undefeated team in Division I-A. As such, BYU was the leading candidate to win the national championship if it were to win its bowl game. However, BYU, as nine-time defending champion of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), was obligated to play in the Holiday Bowl. The Holiday Bowl was only in its fifth season, and the WAC was only considered a second-tier conference at the time. As such, the Holiday Bowl would not automatically draw a high-caliber opponent for the WAC champion. Many poll voters were reluctant to crown BYU as national champion. Not only were they skeptical about BYU's schedule (the Cougars only played one ranked team--Pittsburgh--all season, and no one in the WAC was even close to being their equal), but they also felt the Cougars' statistics were inflated by the heavily pass-oriented brand of football played in the WAC.
Several schools passed on the bowl because of its early time period, citing interference with final exams . Eventually, the Holiday Bowl picked the 6-5 Michigan Wolverines, with the national title possibly on the line for BYU. The Wolverines managed to give BYU a tough game, but BYU won the game by a score of 24-17 and would later be awarded the consensus national championship after all of the other bowl games had been completed.
