[QUOTE="L41k18, post: 989533, member: 6600"] Your dad is right. There is proof. Back in the day the national champion was chosen before the bowls, because, the bowls were exhibition games. Mich State won the natty in the '65 season; lost the Rose Bowl. Alabama was named champs after the '64 season; lost the Orange Bowl. There are other examples. Notre Dame played in the Rose Bowl in '24, then refused to play in a bowl game again until 1969. They won 8 national championships in those non-bowl years. The Big 10 only allowed one team to go to a bowl; their champ, to the Rose Bowl. Also, you couldn't go two years in a row - if you won the conference again the 2nd place team went. Crazy but true.
