I still have a hard time believing UGA finally did it, and they didn't even win the conference, much as Bama did back when.

That's two nonconference champs winning the NC, which I suppose was rare preBCS, no?  (aside from indies)

Plenty of co-champions won it, I believe.

How many teams that did not win their conference won the NC preBCS?  (Teams in conferences only.)

None come to mind.

Probably none, since all of the big bowls were tied to conference champions back then.

I think it was 1971 when the Big 8 had the top three teams, maybe the NC winner didn't win the conference?

UNL won the Big 8 that year, and the MNC.

I think in the 60s and before this was not the case.  UGA went to the Orange Bowl on several occasions I don't think they had a tie in with the SEC.  Usually a conference champ would make the major bowl of course.  In 1971(2), Oklahoma played in the Sugar Bowl and UNL in the Orange.

none of them "won" the titles because no one won them. they were awarded. bama was awarded (and claims, ridiculously) the 1941 title by houlgate despite going 10-2 (5-2), finishing #20 in ap, while msu went 4-0-1 in sec (back then they had uneven schedules for some reason).

interestingly, it happened in the first ever ap poll.

1936 minn claims ap title despite going 4-1 in bigten, while northwestern went 6-0.

1942 osu won ap, going 5-1 in bigten, but lost to wisconsin who was 4-1. technically osu won bigten, so doesn't apply, but they won due to the uneven schedules.

1951 tenn won ap, went 5-0 in sec, but ga tech won sec with 7-0 record. ga tech also went 11-0-1 overall while tenn went 10-1-0.
