Was just looking at past national champions and a lot caught my eye.
-From 1869-1900 the national championship was dominated by the Ivy leauge. Princeton, Harvard and Yale.
-A lot of early national titles with a 1-0 record. WTF!:huh:
-If you want the definition of DOMINATION, look up 1901 Michigan. 11-0-0 record and outscoring the opposition 550-0!!!:wow:
-Whats up with the 40's? Did they not play bowl games? Not a single national champion went to a bowl in that decade. Something to do with WWII?
-9 teams have won a national title after losing their bowl game. '35 SMU, '50 Oklahoma, '51 Tennessee, '53 Maryland, '60 Minnesota, '64 Alabama, '65 Michigan st, '70 Texas, '73 Alabama.
-Only two teams have won the national title with 2 losses. '60 Minnesota and '07 LSU.
-3 teams have won the national title with a loss and a tie. '65 Alabama, '74 USC and '90 Colorado.
-In modern time 2 teams have won the title with 14 wins. '02 Ohio st and '09 Alabama
-'84 BYU was the last team not currently in a BCS conference other than Notre Dame that won a national title. Before that it was Army in 1945.
-There have been 18 "split" national titles.
1925: Alabama/Dartmouth
1926: Alabama/Stanford
1928: USC/Georgia Tech
1932: USC/Michigan
1935: SMU/Minnesota
