Nice review. A few things: 1. Duffy's last name was pronounced "Door-it-y"; 2. You never updated UCLA's final regular season record to 7-2-1. That's significant, because if they would have been 8-1-1, then beat Mich. St., they might have jumped Bama. 3. If Nebraska and Bama would have tied, Nebraska would have probably won the NC because they were they only remaining undefeated team, even with that final tie. BTW, I can remember watching that entire day with my Dad. I was 8 at the time and fell in love with college football. He ended the night very happy, being a Bama grad.
I didn't update because I believe I was showing their record after the final poll which was before the Rose Bowl.
Very late comment, but it's great to hear Tom Osborne as an assistant at Nebraska, who along with Bob Devaney, developed the I-Option offense that would dominate College Football for the next 3+ decades. BTW, would you consider doing a video series on offensive formations that changed College Football forever, like the Notre Dame Box/Shift, Wing-T, Wishbone, Veer, Run & Shoot, etc. Also a formation that doesn't get enough Pub but has to be mentioned is the Blitz-T, which was a Shotgun-style pass offense co-developed by Howard Fletcher of Northern Illinois (then a College Division program) and a coach in the pro ranks that you all may have heard of named Tom Landry. Anyway, love your videos!
Really appreciate these videos and your clear passion for the sport. I hope you don't get discouraged by lower view counts on certain vids because there will always be options and intrigue for a channel like this.
Thank you! These comments help me not feel discouraged. But thank you so much I'm working on more stuff coming out this month.
@@WrongedSports and you shouldn't no matter what bro like I said you have options if you wanna chase views you can do that but you're putting out some good nuanced content about the sport and I love it. Also I'm the ohio state fan who wanted a "how the year was won" about one of our championship seasons don't know if you remember😂😂😂 Hopefully you have something like that in the works😂😂😭😭😭 appreciate you regardless
According to the AP writers' themselves, they chose not to vote after the bowl games in 1966 because No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Michigan St. did not participate.
Even if that is so, it doesn't account for the decades of not having polls after bowl games when they were needed. 1950 is a good example as I went over that year too and how polls were done at Thanksgiving even though regular season games were still left to play. Thanks for watching!
AWESOME!
Can you add Tampa to the Discontinued playlist? Great video btw
23 33 col. Sanders on sidelines
Michigan State was number one not because it was before the bowl but because the coaches looked at the talent and competition. Not at fan reaction to a bowl game
Arkansas was the true national champion in 1964. But it's another bama title they claim that they really didn't have a right to.
Yeah I believe I mentioned that, but I'm just going by the AP national champion not my own choice but I understand
An interesting topic could be Alabama from 1964-66. They won one national title because there was no post-bowl poll, (1964), won another because there was one (1965), yet had their best record in those years in 1966 (11-0) and finished third behind Notre Dame and Michigan State. Years like those would eventually result in post bowl polls and much later, playoffs. @@WrongedSports
Checking the Massey computer composite for 1964 we get
1.Arkansas 2. Texas 3. Michigan
For 1965 we get
1. Michigan St 2. Notre Dame 3. Alabama
And for 1966 we get
1. Notre Dame 2. Alabama 3. Michigan St
Good grief, the Crimson Tide had every right to claim that tile because they won it on the field and voters awarded the title to Bama.
I would love to see a video about the Southwestern Conference. Also the UCLA vs Tennessee game you mentioned definitely is why you don’t want to put the refs in the position to decide games no matter the reason. SEC refs have been a problem with bad calls in recent years. Also as a Texas Tech fan we definitely have been a very penalized team, we have recently been able to limit our penalties though with is good.
Thanks for watching, besides the old PCC which I did a video on, the SWC is my favorite old conference. So I might do something on the SWC but it will probably be a long one, lol. But thanks again
As RAZORBACKS FANATIC i demand you do 1964 and show how my beloved Hawgs got screwed by the AP AND THE UPI!!!!😡
Thanks for watching. I have a video on the 1960, 1962, and 1969 seasons if you want to check them out.
@@WrongedSports I will. ....still wanna thing on 1964!....1969 still boils my blood....!!!
