I don't make the rules, UW won a national title in football. Looks like a few of them.

I'm just passing along NCAA info...

That's because the NCAA doesn't award a championship for football. You're batting .000 today.

Listen, I don't make the rules. I'm just passing along the stats from the governing body of college athletics. What rules for football championships are you following? There's lots of polls out there. It seems that you are setting up standards. Maybe you should contact the NCAA about your ideas.

Someone needs to MAKE NICKLE DIMER GREAT AGAIN

Someone needs to HEAL INSPIRE REVIVE me.
What does A NEW AMERICAN CENTURY even mean?

 

[TheDean]

No one gives a f*ck about the NCAA. There's always been a college football "champion," whether it's the College Football Playoff, The Bowl Championship Series (BCS), the Bowl Alliance, the Bowl Coalition, or a combination of ranking polls.

 

[NickleDimer]

So who is the champion? Miami or UW?

Shared title, remember this used to happen. Both schools can claim to be #1.

 

[NickleDimer]

What's the definition of the word champion?

What's the definition of the word champion?

I think they had this debate for about 80 years before finally implementing the playoff.

So you and theDean determined who the champion was prior to the playoff?

No the AP and Coaches did.

 

[nardibynature123]

That's because the NCAA doesn't award a championship for football. You're batting like Ryan Howard vs. lefties today.

fixed.

 

[NickleDimer]

No the AP and Coaches did.

So there was two separate leagues? Or was there no champion?

Two seperate polls that each award a national champion. Most years they are the same team. A few times in the 90's you had a split title or two title holders. I also recall when Colorado and Ga Tech split. Going to guess the year prior 90 but my memory probably isn't that good.

Darn, my memory is good. It was 90. See the link. According to wiki UW has 4 national titles in football. Lots of split titles.

 

[NickleDimer]

So there was no champion until the playoff started a couple years ago?

 

[danmcguire]

There is still no national champion given an NCAA trophy, even with the playoff. FBS Football "championships" aren't counted in total NCAA titles, because they aren't titles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football_national_championships_in_NCAA_Division_I_FBS

So then Washington has not fielded a national champion men's team?

HIghlights from his call during the 8 minutes of the Oregon/Cal game I watched last night:

Walton (early second half after Rooks makes a layup): Kameron Rooks! Where would the Bears be without Kameron Rooks?
Pasch: ...Rooks, with his first shot attempt of the night.


Walton: Did you ever call a game with Sean Elliott?
Pasch: I did not
Walton goes on at length about how Elliott rode his horse to the stadium when he called a game with him in San Antonio.

Discussing the celebrity all star game taking place before AZ v UCLA:
Walton: Did you ever call that?
Pasch: No
Walton: I’ve called it, reffed it and played in it all at the same time.

About two minutes later:

Walton: You know who else’s birthday it is today?
Pasch: I’m afraid to ask.
Walton: Joan of Arc. That’s what this game needs. Some unlikely hero, heroine. There’s a fantastic book out called “Not Impossible.” I want you to check that out.

A minute later after comparing a player to Joan of Arc:
Walton: Joan of Arc, who at 19 single handedly ended The Hundred Years’ War. Were you there? Did you call that one?

He also did this:
