All of these teams were voted into statuses and opportunities their on-field merits didn't warrant.


With the exception of '41, these are all poll titles. They are given to the team that finished 1st in a poll. Voters are polled for their opinions on the top teams, those votes are compiled into a poll, and the top team in the poll gets the trophy. That's the point of a poll. Don't agree with the poll? Tough shite.

Trust me, no one is arguing the fallacy of polls, and how it provided you much of your underserved history.

We're all just glad that now we have a playoff and things are finally settled on the field.

Those unfortunate years listed were examples of why the play-off was so long overdue.
