Moiraine Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I voted, we are 53% and the Ohio State is 47%. How many rounds are there? That was the first round Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 As much as I hate to say it, but out of all of them, FL State has the best one. But since I won't be buying it and have to watch, I will keep NU up on the charts. haha Quote Link to comment

redblooded Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm rather impressed by how many votes Michigan can put up. They are the tortoise in this. There is no mystery as to how anyone made it to the semis though, except ND. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Does anyone know why Michigan always says they have 11 titles? I'm checking the wikipedia link. It says they only have 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football_national_championships_in_NCAA_Division_I_FBS#National_poll_championships_.281936.E2.80.93present.29 Scroll down to "National poll championships by current conference membership (1936–present)" Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's because they have very little integrity. They claim nine national championships prior to 1936. 1936 was a magical year because that was the first year of the Associated Press Poll. Prior to this, any publication, body, sportswriter, pundit or Wizard of Oz could bestow a national championship on a team. Most of those championships come with a bit of controversy, since multiple bodies handed out multiple championships to multiple teams, often with very little reason or consideration for... much of anything. That's why Nebraska doesn't claim the "national championships" they won from 1980-1984. Why? Integrity. 2 Quote Link to comment

I do wonder though, did anyone proclaim us as "national championships" back from the late 1800 and early 1900s? I never thought we did, but I really don't pay much attention to the history of what was quote on quote called "football" for that time. Quote Link to comment
