Ah, the good ol' Likenhous poll of 1967... "While USC and Oklahoma were voted as the top ranked team in some of the postseason polls, there were voters that took into account Tennessee’s success against a tough schedule. The publication Litkenhous, which specialized in sports rankings named the Vols the national champions of the 1967 season."


And 50/51 still make at worst 3. And 67 is more legit than half of Bamas. So at best you are too stupid to count to 3, worst case you can’t count to 4. Either way you are stilll an idiot.

Please tell us all about the 1953 national title claim and how that came to be. Fascinating!

Ah 1950, chanmpions of the Boand System Poll, DeVold System Poll, Dunkel System Poll, and Houlgate System Polls

Impressive

Also by:

National Championship Foundation - The National Championship Foundation (NCF) was established by Mike Riter of Hudson, New York. The NCF retroactively selected college football national champions for each year from 1869 to 1979,

College Football Researchers Association - The CFRA took a vote of its members from 1982 to 1992 to select an annual college football national champion. Members were asked to rank the top 10 teams, and a point system was used to determine a national champion based on the members' votes. The CFRA also conducted a retroactive poll to determine historical national champions for each year from 1919 to 1981.


You have to be fricking with us with threse claims right?

This would be like Ohio State claiming a national title in 2019 for leading the ESPN FPI poll at the end of the season.
