Do you really have to click the link to realize that's where the text came from?

What did you think that blue shite was for at the bottom of the page?

Thanks for all the information, I guess.

You're welcome, I thought it was interesting. The guy discusses many past football "championships".

Here's some of what he says about 1925:

However, if there had been an AP poll in 1925, 8-0 Dartmouth would have finished #1 by a landslide, and in fact Alabama would likely have finished no better than 3rd (at best), behind 7-1 Michigan. And that's a post-bowl poll-- Alabama would have been more like #8-15 before their big win over 10-1-1 Washington in the Rose Bowl.

10-0 Alabama and 8-0 Dartmouth are the teams everyone focuses on for the 1925 MNC, but 7-1 Michigan and 8-1 Pittsburgh should also be considered contenders because both played much tougher schedules than either Alabama or Dartmouth did. Michigan and Pitt each defeated 3 top 25 caliber opponents, while Dartmouth and Alabama each defeated just one.

The Rose Bowl game was vital for Alabama because their regular season schedule was nearly worthless, certainly far worse than even Dartmouth's very weak schedule. None of their opponents would have been top 25, and only one was even "close" (as in maybe #41-50). And while they demolished most of those opponents, they did have 2 close games, and that is just not an impressive performance for an MNC hopeful.
