What about 1973, the first "playoff".
One service names Bammer. One name Notre Dame.
They meet in the Sugar Bowl to decide who is the best. ND wins.
Bammer still tries to claim the national championship.

Dude, you're a Tennessee fan. When this subject is under discussion your best bet might be to sit quietly in the corner and hope no one notices you.

Alabama doesn't have to justify 1973. Yes it looks odd because they lost the AP title game but they came in the game as UPI champs and undefeated. That's how the system was then. It's an etched-in-stone title.

All because of a missed extra point.
Realistically that game should have ended in a 24-24 tie. Both teams played equally well and while ND won, those who watched the game would tell you it was an evenly matched contest. I watched the full game on YouTube not long ago and that is easily one of the greatest football games I have ever watched.

In 1951, previously undefeated and #1Tennessee and undefeated #3 Maryland meet in the Sugar Bowl. Maryland handily beats the Vols 28-13...Tennessee still claims the 1951 title...
