Technically this is our first National Championship Game. Others were just bowls that happened to have matched up #2 v. #1. I'm not sure of the record of those happenings, however.

Yeah, like in '89 we were #7 playing Miami who was #1 so it wasn't really a NC for us. I think we won or tied all of them that were for us to win the NC. Of course their was the period when the NC was awarded before bowl games and I know we lost one of those bowl games, but had already had claimed the NC.
