Notre Dame signed a six-year, $30 million deal with NBC, granting the network the exclusive rights to broadcast Notre Dame football, however the deal would not start until 1991.
Florida State begins 0–2, but finishes the season 10–2, having beaten the National Champions Miami earlier in the season and beating Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl.
Two big names retired from the coaching ranks, Michigan's Bo Schembechler and Oklahoma's Barry Switzer, while Steve Spurrier was hired by Florida away from Duke in an effort to clean up after a decade of NCAA sanctions.
