Just cuz it doesn't go your way...

Why start with the 1936 season?
The AP poll was introduced that season, making it the first time the longest-standing news organization in the United States began ranking teams and crowning a national champion. Starting in 1937, the NCAA began recognizing "major college programs" (now known as the FBS). To accrue points, a program had to be recognized as one of these major programs by the NCAA. Those years are listed on pages 426 and 427 of this year's NCAA Football Record Book.


They should include heads up with what they consider "major college programs" before 1936 then. Bama kicked USC's arse in the Rose Bowl, which was the standard before that time frame.

First, I take any list that has Michigan at number 8 with a grain of salt.

Second, hmm what happened? Arkansas ranked ahead of Auburn? But weren't we told the other day that Arkansas isn't even a pimple on Auburn's arse?

Renounce your 1978 "National Championship" and then we can talk head to head.
