Yech has been a mediocre program in the worst BCS program for years. They suck. The ACC sucks. Face reality.

Word, you’re dead-on point. Keep in mind how obviously bias the current sports media is towards the northern and midwestern teams now, and just imagine how even more absurdly bias they were back in the 40’s when you had zero alternate outlets. OSU or Michigan could have lost to a high school team and they would have gladly found a way to give them the title over a more deserving team.

It would make more sense to have the two best teams in the nation, in the same dominate conference, playing again for the national title over a shmuck team from the ACC.

Our best shot is Texas A&M beating Texas prior to the Big-12 Championship. The voters won’t put 2 SEC teams in the championship. Nor will they put a mid-major. Therefore we only have to win our last 3 games and have Texas lose before the Big-12 championship.

If Texas beats A&M and then loses the Big-12 championship they still don’t fall below Tech.

Thank you for the insight. I never knew Colorado played such an impressive schedule in 1990, especially when compared to Tech’s junior varsity schedule. Colorado’s schedule was one to admire. It’s ashame teams no longer challenge themselves anymore the way they did. They truly were the only real champion for 1990. Great posts!

The ACC has 5 teams that aren’t even playing .500 ball. What a joke!!!

Here’s an interesting fact as well. While the country was at war and most teams had their athletes off fighting for our freedom, GT played football using OTHER TEAM’S PLAYERS during WWII. Say for instance, the team captains from Alabama and Vanderbilt during 1943-44. No one counts these as GT wins since they needed other players from better teams to win. And Tech was also caught cheating in the late 1990’s and their co-championship from 1998 doesn’t count either. So in reality, they’re sitting on 12 conference titles.

Pretty sad they’ve been in the weakest conference in the nation over the past 50 years and only have 1 legit ACC title to show for it. What a disgrace.

Thank you for the correction, Paul. However, you failed to mention that Texas was IN FACT, the SWC champion that year, therefore making my statement of Colorado playing 4 conference champions, a FACT. But if arguing semantics makes you feel better about the realities I laid out, then please, continue.

Supersize, UGA had more outlets voting for them in ‘42 than Tech had in ‘52. Neither the AP nor the Coaches Poll voted for Tech. UGA finished 11-1 in ‘42 and beat UCLA in the Rose Bowl (the Super Bowl of bowls in this era) while OSU (9-1) didn’t even play in a bowl. So yes, 1942 is accepted as a UGA National Championship, and rightly so.
