[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 430659, member: 3893"] Strange that they didn't go to a bowl game that year. I know there were very few bowls, but the #1 team from start to finish? They only played one ranked team, #22 Colorado, and every other team on their schedule finished with a losing record (including ND and Texas). Two math-based systems put GT at #1 that year (but GT lost to Tennessee, which also lost only one game, to Baylor in the Sugar Bowl). Would have been a 4-team playoff between Tennessee, GT, Oklahoma, and Iowa, which played 4 ranked teams and lost only to Michigan. One of my all-time favorite football players was on that '56 Oklahoma team, little guy with a big heart, Tommy McDonald. [/QUOTE]
