quote:
BYU won a national title before (independent, but they are viewed as a group of 5er, not a notre damer).
Similar to some of these discussions about the playoffs, they had the perfect scenario for it to happen, too.
Only 1 power 5 team had 1 loss and 0 ties (Washington).........but that team didn't win the Pac 12 and go to the Rose Bowl, USC did.
Florida went 9-1-1, Nebraska 10-2, Boston College 10-2 and 3 SWC teams went 10-2/9-2-1.
And even then, it is pretty patently absurd that BYU won the national title that year. Their big season opening win over #3 Pitt ended up being a win over 3-7-1 Pitt. They didn't beat a SINGLE TEAM ranked in the final AP Top 25. And, of course, they beat Michigan in the Holiday Bowl on a hail mary. Michigan went 6-6.
