I saw the thread about teams who won CFP nattys, but did not win BCS nattys.

It got me thinking. Would anyone care to guess who the last school to win it's first National Championship was?

If not, go ahead and downvote this and curse me out. Whatever you need to do.

Was it Florida in 1996?

This is a good question.

I guess it would be UGA since all titles before 2014 are mythical.

The fact that we haven't had a new champ in nearly 30 years is just an indication of how boring and top-heavy CFB has become.

Look at the 80s. All those different, new teams.

The next first-time natty will likely go to Oregon. They have Nike money.
