Miami, North Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia Tech were not good teams back then. Baylor was tough, but nothing to write home about.
Our only loss that year was to Texas and we beat the Baylor team that beat Kentucky. Then we beat #2 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl 31-6. The Rothman mathematical system named us national champions.
1977 may have been the craziest season in college football history. I was 10 and had just started following football.

UNC was coming off a Peach Bowl from the previous year and was Top 20 in 1977. I think they went undefeated in conference play but not positive, pretty sure they went to a bowl tho.
