While I don't like that we just all of a sudden included these to the OLD stadium...

quote:

In 1919, Harvard and Illinois were regarded as the national champions among the various rankings. However, the Aggies, who finished 10-0 that season, are making their claim based on the National Championship Foundation, which was formed in 1980 and voted on past champions. The group awarded A&M a share of the title in a three-way tie with Notre Dame and Harvard.


So some group voted us as one of the national champions that year? So we didn't just claim this out of thin air ourselves? Cool, if I'm not mistaken, that 1917 team was not scored on.


quote:

In 1927, the Aggies went 8-0-1, and Notre Dame and Pittsburgh were regarded as splitting the national championship. However, the Aggies were retroactively crowned No. 1 by a mathematical ranking system developed in 1935 that ran the results from the 1929 season.


So of the two titles you are bitching about (wouldn't you love to even have just one, even as old, lmao tards don't win championships) A&M was voted as a champion for one and retroactively awarded the championship for the other?

Do I have this right?
