Because it's true? The FWAA was treated equally to the AP and Coaches up until the 70s.

FWAA and NFF were respectable selectors, but never held the same weight. Both selectors never conducted weekly polls. They just named a champion at the end. AP and UPI conducted weekly polls. The majority of the college football world only goes by AP and UPI/Coaches. That's a given fact.

1958 National Champions: LSU with 15 selectors including the AP and UPI.

Iowa doesn't claim the title, but they were named by only 1 selector, the newly formed FWAA as they deemed their Rose Bowl win over #16 California to me bore impressive, yet LSU shutout #12 Clemson in the Sugar Bowl.

LSU (11-0-0); Iowa (8-1-1)

Tell me how the FWAA is a valid selector?

You are an Alabama fan. I am surprised you don't know more about 1961. Alabama went (11-0-0) en route to an AP and UPI national championship. To me, and many others, Alabama is the sole champion. But don't tell Ohio State that.

Ohio State (8-0-1) was also selected as national champion by the FWAA.

For those above reasons, the FWAA doesn't hold as much weight as the AP and UPI/Coaches.
