Texas teams have also been selected as national champions in six other years (1918, 1930, 1945, 1947, 1950, 2008) by various nationally published ratings systems or voters which are not recognized by the University or the NCAA.

quote:Remember this???
In 2008, Oklahoma and Texas were embattled in a jockeying to be ranked higher in the BCS. The team ranked highest in the BCS would break a three-way tie atop the Big 12 south, advance to the Big 12 title game, and, with a win there, to the national championship.
The polling was so close that every vote in the Coaches and Harris polls counted. Every vote mattered.
And Baylor coach Art Briles strangely voted Oklahoma No. 1 and had Texas all the way down at No. 5, even though the Longhorns defeated the Sooners head-to-head.

Only the UPI poll did that back then.
The AP ranked teams after bowls, and they ranked undefeated and untied Nebraska, who won their bowl game, as #1.
That's why everyone outside your stupid fan base considers Nebraska the 1970 NC.

You're the one that claimed all national champs were crowned before the bowl games. The fact Nebraska tied a game is rather inconsequential in this argument, which you lost. Now after being proven wrong, or at least hoping no one would call your BS, you've moved the goal posts to reflect the split title aspect, which while correct, is also inconsequential, because Nebraska has more claim to the 1970 NC than tu.
