Isn't it funny that the AP changed the way it voted to after the bowl games when Bama won the natty in 64 and lost their bowl game. And in 65 they waited and Arkansas lost their bowl game. If it had not been changed, Arkansas would have won the natty in 1965.

But....

At season's end, Michigan State, Arkansas and Nebraska were all unbeaten, with records of 10-0-0, and as champions of the Big Ten, Southwestern and Big 8 conferences, respectively, they played in three separate bowl games (Rose, Cotton and Orange). Arkansas and Michigan State lost in their bowl games, and Alabama defeated Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. In the poll taken after the bowls, Alabama was crowned the national champion by the Associated Press.

So back-to-back AP national champions for Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide in 64 & 65.
