If you use just the A.P. (Writers), U.P.I. (Coaches) and CNN/USA Today (Coaches), you are incorrect on that one too.

Ok using your logic no one won a National Championship before the BCS was created. LOL!

The AP poll of sports writers has been going since 1935. UPI used to have the Coaches' poll before it was taken over by CNN/USA Today. Many sports almanacs list the "National Championship" based on those two traditional polls.

Of course you can add the polls by various sports magazines, or as I mentioned, some of the "look-back" studies by people such as Jeff Sagarin.

Notice too, that I use "national championship" in quotations, because it is mythical.
