I hate when Wikipedia has wrong info. Can someone go fix it to include whichever OM championship they’re missing before todays? Don’t see where OM ever had a recognized national title before today. Thanks.

They were voted #1 in the final FWAA poll (which was equal to the AP and Coaches polls at the time) at the end of the 1960 season and it's listed on the NCAA site here: LINK

That actually surprises me. I honestly thought the one they were claiming had to have been 1962.

Voting back then made no sense. They were ranked ahead of USC to begin 1962, although both were undefeated OM had better wins, and still USC recognized as sole NC? And the “shared” title from 1960 seems like a sham too considering Minnesota had 2 losses and OM was undefeated. I know championships were claimed before the bowl games but still. Pollsters truly did have a bias against the South.
