1953, Maryland “won” the title despite losing their bowl game because the final polls at the time were done before the bowl games. After a similar incident in 1964, where Alabama was crowned champion and then lost their bowl game, the AP changed their format in 1965 and waited until after the bowl games to release their final season poll.

[@yourlocalbluntfriend4136]

@@coyotelong4349 it was. 1973 is a prime example. Alabama finished number one in the regular season then lost 24-23 to undefeated Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Hence why it was shared.

[@tyvulpintaur2732]

@@yourlocalbluntfriend4136 also back before the BCS and CFP, there were often “shared” titles as the AP Poll and Coaches Poll sometimes voted different teams. Heck, even today, that still happens with “minor” polls not always going with what the AP/CP picks.

[@viceman8152]

Correct but important to remember that when the bowl games were expedition games, teams treated theam as a reward and didn't practice hard. Once they started counting them, or rather waited for the final polls, coaches such as Bear Bryant(as in your Bama reference), improved their bowl records greatly. It was less site seeing and more practicing. Rule changes back in the day to slow down Bryant and today Saban, (Bowden, and other examples from other dynasties) tend to backfire because these coaches got where they are because of their ability to adjust faster than the field.

[@ezmoney5087]

@@yourlocalbluntfriend4136 Yes, but Alabama was the only undefeated and untied team in 1966 but they split the championship between ND and Mich state, also in 1977 BAMA and ND both finished 11-1 but didn't play each other, they both had two common opponents USC and Ole Miss, BAMA beat both, ND lost to Ole Miss, BAMA and ND won their bowl games but they awarded the championship to ND.

In 1942, Ohio State and Georgia were crowned national champions. Georgia defeated UCLA in the Rose Bowl on January 1, 1943. Nine ranking authorities listed in the NCAA record books listed the Bulldogs as No. 1. Ohio State was crowned No. 1 in the final AP Poll at the end of November and did not make a bowl appearance. At the time, the AP poll did not put out a post-bowl poll.

As a Georgia fan, I do not consider UGA a national champion in any years other than '80 & '21. Our own media guide didn't recognize these other "championships" (27, 42, 46, 68) until roughly 1995. While I will acknowledge that we were almost certainly the best team of 1942, if you didn't win in the AP, you're not national champion in my book.

They weren't the "official" decider of the national champion in those early years and their results were considered subjective.....which they still are.

I think 2009 and 2021 are wrong. 09 wasn't Ohio. It was North Carolina. And 2021 wasn't Georgia. They lost the SEC to Alabama which disqualified them. Thus, North Carolina and Pittsburgh were co-national champions because they both won their conference championship game and were undefeated.

Fun fact: the national champion was often crowned before the final bowl games (or they didn’t look at those games when deciding). As a Maryland fan, I know that they lost to Oklahoma in 1953, but was in the top 3 in 1951 and beat Tennessee in a bowl game. So in reality, they SHOULD have been 1951 champs and not 1953. There’s more examples, I’m sure. Anyone else know similar cases?

[@chuckwest7045]

Oklahoma in 1950 was certainly not the best team. They lost the Sugar Bowl to Kentucky and had the final poll been taken after the bowl games then Kentucky likely would've been the national champions for the 1950 season.

What’s interesting about college football is that the same team can win 5, 6, 7, 8 years in a row. In the NFL, winning two years in a row is a great achievement. And you can already forget about winning 3 years in a row, cause it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon!

It has been almost 20 years since an NFL team won back-to-back. Pats are the last to accomplish that (‘03-‘04). Packers are the only team to win 3 in a row (‘65-‘67). 49ers were just a game away from matching that from ‘88-‘90 until Montana got injured.

Ivy league is just unstoppable back in the ol days

[@darthsilversith667]

Not really. There was even worse bias back then than the SEC bias now. It was the “gentlemen” era and since the Ivy schools were the crown jewel schools of the country back then, they always got the votes. They won most if not all of theirs not just before the playoff era or the BCS era.. but even before the bowl game era. They would just play a limited conference schedule and pretty much whoever won the Ivy League back then was voted in as the NC. The game was vastly different back then as well in pretty much every aspect. I don’t count anything before the 1940’s or 30’s as wholly legit or that it carries the same weight as a modern championship. I honestly struggle to give weight to anything before the BCS era but at least the game back then at least resembled the modern game of today.
