1977 Alabama (11-1) vs. Kentucky (10-1)


Kentucky finished 2nd in the nation that year. I think UK wins that game. Would have loved to have seen it.

They finished 6th. And were ineligible for the postseason.

Alabama was 2 in the AP and UPI (coaches) in 1977. Beat Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl.

Notre Dame was awarded the AP and UPI poll titles.

According to whose poll? Because Alabama finished #2 in both the AP and Coaches Poll in 1977. That '77 squad was easily one of the best of the Bryant era. It defeated the #1 ranked team on the road and destroyed a Top 10 Woody Hayes-led Ohio State team, 35-6 in the Sugar Bowl.
