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

Hard false. The AP was 6 years old and far from the end all be all NC recognition. The AP was a “poll” in the sense that it was comprised of 15 sportswriters overwhelmingly in the MW and NE and that was closely contested. UGA won 8 of 13 recognized NC entities, won the Rose Bowl a much better arbiter of NC in the day, and had the Heisman trophy winner. OSU beat 1 ranked team, didn’t play in a bowl, also had a loss, and won 9 games rather than 11.

I think UGA should claim 1946 when they were the only undefeated untied team in the country.
