Recap of The Year
Voters were divided in the first poll of the 1990 college football season. The first rankings reflected the lack of consensus for a number one.
1. Miami 2. Notre Dame 3. Auburn 4. Florida State 5. Colorado
Each of the top five teams received at least three first-place votes in the initial poll. The season opening game was the Disneyland Classic between the Colorado Buffaloes and the Tennessee Volunteers in Anaheim, California. The game ended in an exciting 31-31 tie, keeping both teams alive for the national championship.
Although the first game was played on August 26, 1990, the first regular season poll was not released until September 4. Polls in 1990 were released on the Tuesday after the game.

Famous quotes containing the words the year and/or year:
“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The young pines springing up in the corn-fields from year to year are to me a refreshing fact.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
