re: Georgia and Auburn each have 2 consensus national titles in football
Posted by boxedlunch on 1/29/19 at 1:18 am
[quote]Bowling Green dropped Auburn after an assistant AD left Oklahoma (who did play for the NC) to be AD at Bowling Green and played Oklahoma instead. Oklahoma dropped Citadel and we added them as a quick replacement. Long story short Bowling Green finished in the top 25 for the only time in bvb t...

[quote]Still played and won an SEC schedule and if we hadn’t started out ranked 20 spots below the other two, we’d have played for the title.[/quote]
It was unanimous among the BCS computers that Auburn's schedule was weaker than the other two teams. The voters seemed to think so, too.

[quote]FWAA doesn't count either. LSU wins both AP and UPI going 10-0 before finishing 11-0-0. FWAA crowns Iowa which went 8-1-1. FWAA and NFF don't have credibility like the AP and Coaches. [/quote]
They did in the 60s, FWAA at least....

[quote]Stassen is still up. Can't say for how long given it's dependence on CFDW.[/quote]
Stassen pre-dated cfbdatawarehouse. Chris did cite cfbdatawarehouse once and say he might give it up in favor of that, but he got his query information from Howell, which is why it's not all-time....

Well, speaking as someone who knows more than a little about historical college football information, my reviews:
winsipedia - couple of guys scraped data from the internet without crediting their sources and are fairly ignorant about historical information. Whoever uses that, gets what they des...

I remember this well. Years later, the NCAA added several wins to Pop Warner's record, giving him 319 wins, more than AA Stagg. Of course, by then, Bryant had 323. Meaning, Pop Warner had the most all-time wins of any coach, but never held the NCAA record....
