Neither won an AP championship,
Associated Press until the 50s are heavily skewed in favor of Notre Dame, service academies, and the Midwest/northern schools. Until the 50s/60s, news media was still predominantly a northeastern institution that hadn’t regionalized away from biases. NCAA also still controlled tv broadcasting so the alma maters of writers and the favored schools (Notre Dame, Army, etc) routinely were given benefit of the doubt in voting processes due to lack of being able to adequately judge teams other than by in person attendance, regional radio, or the written and spoken word of other reporters.
All to say, CFB title until around the 60s and 70s are more or less made up and pointless. Hell, Ohio State, Michigan, and Notre Dame routinely sat out the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl etc after the regular season wrapped. The concept of. A national title mattered to an extent but not nearly as much as it has the past 50 years

Stetson deserves it. Herschel had his retired way before he graduated.

For what?
Name all the big ranked teams he beat based on his performance, I'll wait.
In 1980, he beat heisman winner George Roger's and South Carolina (#14). Beat #20 Florida. Went on to beat #7 Notre Dame with dislocated shoulder. Rankings are AP at the time that they played.
