So did Oklahoma in 1950 , to Kentucky and the Bear , that was the rules then and the bowls were considered exhibitions.

Still , the facts persist , it was more difficult in the pre BCS era because if you finished 2nd you had no shot , in the BCS era you can finish top 2 and you will get a shot.

And believe me , from 1936 to like the late 70s you had an anti south bias in the media, anytime 2 teams were close the northern team won the title , go look for yourself.

I totally agree, and witnessed it myself. The same ole Stereotype still going on even today. South all " Rednecks" and The Rust Belt was in the media mindset; where it was "happening". That is why we love beating the crap out of those Notre Dame and Big Ten Homers. The SEC is now more respected then 30+ years ago....'bout time!

Pre-BCS, split title were far more common. It just wasn't any tougher to win a title back then as it is today.
