Correcting the wrongs of polls past

This is all your opinion & doesn't disprove anything that BBLVD & HH posted. They posted actual facts proven with numbers.

The numbers show that in 1997, Nebraska >>>>>>>>> Michigan.

So, in 1997, Nebraska >>>>>>>>> Michigan.

They know the truth, they just don't want to admit that in 96 years they only really have one title.... 1948.

Still false. Heisman winner Charles Woodson. Tom Brady. No need for miracle plays against good teams. The reality that Nebraska fans still can't come to terms with is they wouldn't have even been voted champions of the coaches poll without Tom Osborn announcing retirement.

Who else won the AP national title in 1997 - you know, the title that's been around the longest?

his conspiracy theory about the coaches giving Osborne a going away gift cracks me up, because it operates under the assumption that the media operates in good faith.

In 1997, the Big Ten brand was the biggest in college football + Michigan was viewed as the crème brulee of that conference. Is that why the media named Michigan #1, despite Nebraska having better wins? I don't know, because I don't believe in conspiracy theories. Once you go down the route of conspiracy theories, your entire argument becomes invalid.

I'm glad you finally admitted we have the title. My job here is done.

Wow, super sad Michigan fan grasps for straws.

We split the title, but the fact is that no one thinks Michigan would have stood a chance if we were to have played. Deal with it.

Not true at all. The AP voters around the country did. The coaches felt obligated to retiring Osborn. It's a false title ceremoniously given to Osborn. It's basically like an honorary degree.

Wait... AP... 'title that's been around the longest'.... then WTF is Michigan doing claiming 8 national titles before the AP even existed?

As it has already been pointed out. The only team gifted, was Michigan as they very CLEARLY didn't deserve a #1 spot.

Those title awarders no longer exist. Do you know what "longest" means?

It is true.

The only gift was the media gifting Michigan their first title in 50 years. Talk about them gifting Osborne when Osborne just won the title 2 of the prior 3 years LMAO.

Only a Michigan fan would believe this nonsense.

This is dumb.
Bowl games were nothing but exhibition games back then, just like now.

Just because they lost the Bowl game while being undefeated in the regular season, means nothing.
The Bowl game meant little then, and to try and rationalize it now is just retarded.


Thanks.

Exactly!!
 
Idk if you guys have picked up on it yet, but he just mentioned the supposed 'gifting of Osborne'. That means that his next talking point will be about Missouri.

He only has two, so he has to mix it up since he can't talk statistically.

A pass hitting a foot, bouncing in the air and just by total luck going right into the arms of a receiver is a miracle.

But, if the receiver wasn't hustling, he wouldn't have been in positing to make the play. It didn't go right into the receivers arms. He dove down and cradled it in his hands before it got the ground.
Deflected balls get caught all the time for td's.
Hustle, not miracle.
 
Which is more likely to be the better team, the one that won 2 of the last 3 natties and being 2 years removed from having arguably the greatest team of all time, or the team that hasn’t won a natty since the Truman administration playing in conference who’s rules at the time were set up to avoid a 1-2 bowl game because they know what the outcome would be?

Can current FBS teams carry national championships from their time in lower divisions?
