Looks like Frosty can add a NC to his already impressive resume!

Football Writers ( Grantland Rice Trophy)
Has anyone ever seen any of these Trophy’s in our Trophy case?
I know I haven’t...

You know me. I don't recognize any NC other than the coaches or the writers. Outside of the crystal ball you aint got squat.
I feel the same way on this subject....
Ohio St and texass claming the National title in 1970 is no different than if Nebraska would have claimed the 1983 National title..
I'll give it to them if was the UPI or AP. That's the way it was before the BCS and the current playoffs. I think that they need to go to an 8 team tourney. If that was done you wouldn't leave out a UCF. However, not playing playing a P5 schedule and beating one team is not the same as winning P5 conference and a couple of playoff games. Doesn't mean I don't love Frost.
It is my understanding the NCAA does not officially endorse any championship team. NCAA football is the only sport the NCAA does not sanction a yearly championship event. They just document the claims from other sources, be it polls or teams claiming it themselves.
I tried to care about this. I failed.
No but that UCF squad could've and very well likely would've beaten Alabama as UCF was the best team in the nation last year! I don't care what conference they played in and don't say Auburn had nothing to play for as they didn't make the playoffs! That excuse is for losers. Fact is UCF beat a team that was better at the end of the year than they were at the beginning of it., the same team that beat both Alabama and Georgia last year and both of those teams played in the title game. Just sayin!
I may not remember this right, but the Grantland Rice trophy is named after a famous sports writer, I think, in the early 20th century and is given to the National champion declared by the Football Writers Association of America . The trophy was given from 1954 to 2013, according to wikipedia. Actually, NU got 4. Looked it up and they got all but 97 when they gave it to michigan.

current champ didn’t win a P5 conf either, nor even play in it. So obviously not a criteria
Yes, I’m aware of all of this but my point is I have never seen any of the Grantland Rice Trophy’s in the Trophy case. Because if there was Trophy’s made you think Nebraska would showcase them Right..
Thanks.. Looks like we have no other choice than to accept this as a valid National Title. Someone had better get on the horn to Nick Saban.
The NCAA has it listed in their records, all of the other teams who self claimed NC's aren't anywhere to be found in the NCAA records. This is the NCAA, not Grantland Rice.
Until there is a legitimate system in place, I don't recognize national champions unless they are undefeated.
1998 Tulane, 1999 Marshall, 2004 & 2008 Utah, 2006 & 2009 Boise St and 2010 TCU should all be considered National Champs?
You would think so. Could it be one of those floating trophies? I doubt it, but don't know. That trophy looks to be about 2 feet high. Does the Athletic dept have several trophy cases? NU has gone to 53 bowl games and won a large number of them. The trophies must be somewhere. I guess someone would have to ask the Athletic dept. I'll try to email them.
Maybe it's a recruiting strategy? I assume most people like a good Wendy's Frosty. Maybe it's recruitment by association?
Ok I'll change it to the retarded chat room/message board lingo then HCSF

You know what frosts my cookies? 1915. How quickly we forget the MNC stolen from Nebraska by Cornell.
Guess I'm confused by what you meant because it most of those years the teams I listed were the only undefeated teams.
That’s when you reheat a pop tart. It can be either a half eaten pop tart or the second pop tart in the silver package.
