Oklahomey

As an OU fan, you can include Oklahoma in this as far as not finishing the job. Oklahoma has achieved to an extent but not winning BCS title games or CFP games has felt like underachieving when they have had loaded teams.

1951 Georgia Tech vs. Tennessee
Tennessee went undefeated at (10-0-0) winning the consensus national title before bowl loss. Georgia Tech went unbeaten at (11-0-1). Both are recognized as co-SEC champions.

1966 Alabama vs. Notre Dame for the national title. 1965 was an experimental year for the AP to choose post-bowl. 1966 and 1967 it went back to pre-bowl. Regardless, this game should have decided the consensus title.

1975 Oklahoma vs. Alabama
Both finished (11-1). Alabama lost their first game to Missouri, a team OU beat. Oklahoma lost late in the year to Kansas. Oklahoma managed to jump Alabama in the remaining weeks en route to a consensus title. Alabama finished #3 behind Arizona State.

1983 Miami vs. Auburn for the national title. Miami needed a failed 2PC by Nebraska to propel to the consensus #1 spot. Miami and Auburn both finished (11-1). Miami was blown out by Florida, 28-3. Auburn, like Miami, lost early to Texas. Texas was in NC contention until the bowl loss to Georgia. Auburn defeated both Florida and Georgia.

1991 Washington vs. Miami for the consensus national title.

1994 Penn State vs. Nebraska. Nebraska won the consensus title but Penn State has a case as they finished undefeated and many believe they were better than the Huskers.

1996 Florida vs. Ohio State for the consensus national title. Both lost late in the season, in fact, one week apart. Gators won outright probably because of the dominating win over FSU. Both lost to their main rival by less than five points.

1997 Nebraska vs. Michigan for the consensus national title. Many believe Nebraska won their share as a gift for a retiring Osborne.

2002 Ohio State vs. Iowa for the B1G championship. There was no CCG then and both were crowned as co-champions at (8-0). Iowa lost one game OOC to rival Iowa State which was ranked as high as #9 before faltering later. Had this matchup happened and Iowa won, the debate to play Miami for the national title would have been between Iowa and Georgia. USC was playing the best ball late but two losses to Washington State and Kansas State eliminated them.

2003 USC vs. LSU for the BCS title

2007 USC vs. Georgia - Rose Bowl

2007 Missouri vs. West Virginia

2008 Texas vs. Florida for the BCS title

2011 LSU vs. Okla State for BCS title

What other games are there?

Does this remind you of something? It was an epic time in history….

Five in a row, 2000-2004. Texas went untouched in 2005.

easily Baker Mayfield and Adrian Peterson. Tony Casillas was on the 1985 national championship team.

With the exception of 1996, Texas A&M did quite well in the 90s, especially from 1991-1994.

What are your thoughts on Emmanuel Acho? Do you claim him?

I bring this up because of the Ryan Clark ordeal. He may be an LSU alum but the Tiger faithful don’t claim him.

Will Texas continue to claim him for his outrageous takes and opinions?

Will Arkansas ever win a national title in football?

But in a more condensed manner…
