We had college kids too, and we won our bowl game. Guess our team was just better.


Or maybe your team was more motivated? You finish 10-0 in the SWC and are only awarded the FWAA while Alabama wins the AP & UPI national championships with the same record against similar competition. Similar thing happened to us after we finished 10-0 in '66 and #3 in both polls. We came out and crushed #5 Nebraska in the Sugar Bowl.

Plus, Arkansas and Texas were both playing for position in the polls for 1965.

You were also the best team and most deserving of the national championship in '66. Similar to '64 Arkansas.
