This is one of the most controversial years in college football. There were a few schools that could've been the national champion and if they did a poll after the bowl games it might have been a different poll. Take this journey down memory lane as we cover the year of 1960 in college football and everything that happened.

Good to see that Yale was listed as #13 on Nov. 21 after completing 9-0 season by crushing Harvard in Cambridge. Bulldogs shared the Lambert Trophy (best in the East) with Navy. Captain Mike Pyle went on to have a successful NFL career with the Bears
Good stuff. But Bern Coan scored 2 TDs against Missouri. He was national back of the week.
You are wrong about the 1959 Ole Miss-LSU game score. Final score was 7-3, not 3-0. The 7 points was the TD from Billy Cannon's famous punt return. Then Ole Miss crushed them 21-0 in the rematch in the Sugar Bowl.
I'm a Golden Gopher fan. Been so for probably close to 50 years. But even so, I don't think I'm allowed by relish in their National Championship as much as I'd like, since they faltered in the Rose Bowl.
Imagine the NCAA basketball tournament concluded with the four regional championships, then a sportswriter and coach poll awarded national titles. Think for a minute of who would have won titles in recent decades and who wouldn’t have.
I recognize a couple of those clips. LOL. Oh 1969 would be a great video. 1969 is the first year where a lot of TV footage exist, plus who doesn't love that century of college football helmet logo. Unfortunately my 69 Mich/OSU video was blocked on YT, but I know others examples exist on this platform. Also the story behind the Texas/Arkansas game involving ABC, Roone and Richard Nixson is probably worthy of a video itself.
Yep your videos really come in handy for anything earlier than 1970. Thanks again.
The 1959 Ole Miss/LSU final score was 7-3 (you said 3-0) this was the game that featured Billy Cannon’s Halloween Run
Ole Miss was on the goal line when time ran out! Cost us the national title. We did crush LSU in a Sugar Bowl rematch. Finished 2nd in 59 and 60.
I really love this channel
Thank you so much. Please share the channel
As a lifelong Rebel fan, 1960 will always put me in a bad mood. Ole Miss was the best team in the nation, but there was significant bias against southern teams, especially a small school in a small town like Oxford, MS. The Rebs were undefeated, yet lost out to a team with one loss. The sportswriters assn gave the natty to Ole Miss that year, iirc.
Minnesota's 1960 team and LSU's 2007 teams are the only two loss national champions we've ever had and The Golden Gophers would not have won a post-bowl poll. The question is: who would have? #2 Mississippi, 10-0-1 over a weak schedule? #3 Iowa 8-1 with 8 games vs. ranked teams? #5 Missouri, who beat #4 Navy in the orange Bowl and was 11-0-0 if you counted the forfeit of the Kansas game? Or #6 Washington, 10-1-0, who had lost to Navy by a point and beaten # Minnesota 17-7 in the Rose Bowl?
Thanks for watching. If there was a poll after the bowl games then I'd think Washington would get the title since they beat #1. But if I had to pick I'd pick Iowa cause the schedule was fantastic and they beat Kansas and Purdue and if they didn't have a terrible 2nd half vs Minnesota they would have beaten Minnesota.
Imagine if there was a playoff committee back then trying to sort out all of the teams. Who would have been your top 4 and how would you have seeded them. I know the Gophers beat Iowa head to head but I think Iowa had the best resume. Playing every game except 1 against a ranked team and the one unranked team was Notre Dame.
I think I mentioned at the end I would've like Ole Miss Vs Minnesota. If I had to pick a final 4 I take those two with Washington and Iowa. I mentioned how Iowa played a ranked opponent every game but 1
Of course Washington was ignored, east coast bias after they beat the # 1 team in the rose bowl. You could make an argument that the huskies should have been National Champs that year.
Thanks for watching. If the pool happened after the bowl game Washington would've been champ. Like Miami in 1983 when they were 5th going into the bowl game and won the Orange Bowl. Iowa should've gotten more love too this year since their schedule was great
Washington certainly should have been given the 1991 season title. And it was preposterous that the title for the 1984 season went to “BYWho?” Washington had beaten Michigan by 21 points at Ann Arbor during the season, then BYU beat the 6-5 Wolverines in the final seconds of the Holiday Bowl, concluding an undefeated season, but no opponent which finished the season in the top 20. Not one.
