re: Alabama fans - Question about the 1973 Sugar Bowl

quote:

---

Because two teams were picked as champion.

Two weeks later those teams met on the field (you know, where who is the best team is decided).

One team won.

Like a playoff or college Super Bowl.

I'll bet you're a youngun.

U know LOTS of teams, Arkie being one, Michigan, Nebraska, all claim national titles that they were awarded by the UPI and then they promptly lost their bowl games but still list those titles? That's how the UPI worked. I suppose you only old enough to remember the BCS where it was two teams, one game, nice, pretty and organized. Well, fact was we had two major polls, UPI and AP. Ask Arkie and 69 Texas if they claim their titles befoer bowl games.

Hell, Notre Dame claims 7 or 8 in years that they DIDN"T EVEN PLAY in a bowl game.
