Bama was also close in 77, 2013 and 2016.

Don't leave 1977 for Bama.

Number one Texas goes down to number 5 Notre Dame
Number 2 Bama blows out number 8 Ohio St in the Sugar Bowl

Notre Dame goes from 5 to 1.
1966 was bad but this at this one is at least if not worse.

that would have been 77,78,79

I think the Gophers were the last ones in the 30's when the Gophers got Bernie from Tulane.

'66 Bama was undefeated and finished ranked 3rd ?

What undefeated teams beat them out that were ranked 1 and 2 ?



Oh ok..n/m I looked it up.


Nothing like a political/ sanctimonious spin for college football polls! Damn !




It happens...remember...national champions, back in the day, were voted on before the bowls.

1938 Tennessee finished 11-0 and finished #2 behind TCU

1939 Tennessee finished the regular season 10-0 and finished #2 behind aTm.

1940 Tennessee finished the regular season 10-0 and finished the season #4 behind Minnesota (undefeated and didn't play in a bowl game), Stanford (undefeated and didn't play in a bowl game), and Michigan 7-1.

So, Tennessee went 3 straight years without losing a regular season game, and did not win a National Championship in any of those seasons.
