1966 Alabama - 2-time defending NCs, went undefeated....racism or some such
1994 Penn St - so much so that in my mind, they got the Coaches NC, even though they didn't

If Notre Dame wanted to claim a NC in 1993 I’d get it. Same record as FSU and beat them head to head, and actually beat them worse than the final score indicates. I think people remember that being some great back and forth tussle and it wasn’t. ND had a two score lead for a great deal of that game.
LSU in 2011. Finished 13-1 to Bama’s 12-1 and split the meetings with them. Beat PAC 12 champ Oregon and Big East Champ WVU in the OOC. I’ll forever argue Ok St should have been LSU’s opponent in the BCS title game.
I’ll edit this somewhat: ND did have a lot of crap on its schedule in 1993. FSU did play a better schedule and actually played an extra game that season.

FSU / Notre Dame in 93
I certainly won't ever claim or recognize anything as a Husker fan
Bowden himself said post game of the Orange bowl that Nebraska was the best team they played.
I was there and Nebraska outplayed FSU.
3 one loss teams, Bowden got his first title.
FSU had as much right to it as ND or UNL, imo
all 3 had an argument - the voters voted

Maybe, but it would have been over by halftime. Like 01 Miami-Nebraska over.

I leave it up to each school to make mythical claims on things, fine with me.
Problem solved.
