No national media awarded arkansas the national championship.



Football Writer's Association of America?

BTW, there were many years at the time in which multiple teams claimed a share of the national championship. You're trying to apply today's method of determining a champion to 1964 and it just doesn't work that way.

FWIW the NCAA recognizes Arkansas as having won a national championship in 1964. NCAA > VC.

No I'm not, I'm simply stating that the AP nor the UPI awarded Arkansas the national championship...those were by far the top two media outlets.....yes, there were many more insignificant ones....and there were various teams awarded, thus arkansas was awarded by some second tier media, in terms of respectability.....so claim it...doesn't matter....just the big guys did not award you. That has a lot to do with bama claiming 28 national championships instead of the legitimate 11 or 12 that they have.
