re: Many schools have been gypped out of national titles, but 1983 Auburn was one of the worst

USC won the AP title because the AP changed its ways after the 1964 debacle and awarded its trophy AFTER the bowl games. Bama won the 1978 UPI title because it was awarded BEFORE its bowl game loss. An absolute scandal that caused them too to change its timing of awarding trophies until after bowl games.

Alabama won the AP national title in 1978, bruh. USC won the UPI despite Alabama having more first place votes.
