AP named the champion before the bowl games until 1968 (with the exception of 1965), which makes any championship by a bowl loser suspect in my opinion.

That being said, that's what they did.

It's a bit unfair to penalize some teams for losing a bowl after being awarded a title, and not do the same for teams that refused to even play in bowl games. ND didn't risk anything after being awarded most of their titles. You can call it smart or cowardly or whatever, but the same bowl-win standard should be applied to everyone imho.
