Texas has 4 one loss seasons with the loss decided by a single point.
Which seasons would those be? None in the BCS-era from what I recall.

5 in 1983 sugar bowl adds 1982 National Champs
4 in 2018 CFP adds 2017 Title ( or you could just actually give us the blocked punt to start the second half that was bogus as hell)
Or
5 points in 2007 against Cocky and UGA wins the east outright , then destroys LSU in SECCG to go onto BCS Title game
Or
5 points in 2012 SECCG against Bama to advance to play ND

No, 1 adds the 2017 title. You lost in overtime.

It wasn’t really clarified...

First problem is, you only need 4 points for 2012. A&M was in the SECCG with a win against Florida, and would have been in the NC game with a win over UGA. Then add 2 points against Rice and 3 points against t.u. in '57, and they have an opportunity to win the Cotton Bowl for an undefeated season.
Another alternate would be add 2 points against Tulsa and 8 against Florida St in '91. Could have been a share of a NC.
I didnt look as hard as I could, but there are more possibilities than just 2012. Oh, 1940 was one too.

If we're going to play that game.
1998 - 3 points against t.u. At the time, we were 5th in the BCS. Assuming we still beat #3 Kansas State and #2 UCLA still loses to Miami, who knows how that would have shaken out? Tennessee was #1, but the computers might have pushed us to #2 over Florida State.
2011 - 3 points against t.u., but only if Sherman is still fired.
2012 - 4 points against Florida. Conceding your point.

What game? It's the entire point of the thread. 9 points in 1990 gets you to 11-1 and playing Miami in the Cotton Bowl. Win there probably gets a share of the NC.

It would take a helluva lot more than just 10 points to win the 85 Georgia game, the 96 Fiesta Bowl, and the 09 SECCG.

Three points to the rescheduled Tennessee game in 2001 would have won us the division and (probably) an eventual shot at the title vs. Miami.
I would say two points to the Ole Miss game in 2008 but without that loss, I don't think that team would have become quite the monster it did.
Tennessee beat us by 1 point in 1928. Otherwise, we could've gotten the Rose Bowl invite over Georgia Tech and "won" the national title.
Speaking of which, GT was called the Golden Tornado back then.

Nor apparently did you look at the box score. That's like saying Northwestern needed 11 points to beat Ohio State a couple of years ago instead of 4 by forgetting the ridiculous fumble return as the clock expired or saying Michigan State needed an additional 7 points to beat Michigan due to that bizarre punter fumble return.
By claiming that you have a better answer for the point of this thread for another team than someone who follows their team closely, you remove all margin of error.
you are taking this way too fricking seriously bro

1973 3 points in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame gets us a 4th AP title in the 1970's (we were the UPI champ's)
1994 2 points in SECCG against Florida gets Alabama set up to play for the NCAA championship as the favorite against Nebraska
2017 5 points against Clemson in championship game gets us the title

1 point against Arkansas and 2015 in regulation which would given us the West title
Five points in 1959 against LSU which would’ve given us the national championship
Four points against LSU in 2004 to give us an undefeated conference record in the west championship

Bama's history speaks for itself. Bama will never need a single point that was not earned.

It is tempting to throw 7 at the 1980 Florida game, which would have given MSU the SEC title and kept Georgia from winning a national title in the last 40 years.
Actually didn't msu and bama tie in '80? 6-6? thanks btw. So even if msu had beaten uf y'all still have that bama tie (thanks again) and uga is still undefeated and untied conference champs.

MSU beat Alabama 6-3 in 1980......
Alabama had a 28 game win steak and was two time defending national champ
