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.

So you agree that Tennessee has 1 national title then, right?

1938 - 11-0 & won the Orange Bowl but finished #2 in AP Poll

1950 - finished #3 in the coaches and #4 in the AP

1951 - finished #1 in AP and Coaches polls, however they lost the Sugar Bowl to #3 Maryland.

1967 - finished #2 in the coaches, #2 in the AP and lost the Orange Bowl to Oklahoma



So, I guess Alabama only has 9 then (1961, 1964, 1965, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015). I can live with that.
