Actually I'm a fan of all the great programs (But must confess to having a Texas bias since I was a child and watched Jimmy Street lead the Horns to the '69 National Title).

I also did a little digging and found that Davis/Blanchard each won a Heisman for Army and 2 National titles ('44 and '45) and were denied a third ('46) only because of a 0-0 tie with Notre Dame (voted National Champs with the same record). Would they be in the discussion?

I have nothing against Texas (the real UT). Darrell Royal showed Bear Bryant how to run the wishbone, and I, along with every other true Tide fan, are grateful for it even today. Won us two more national championships, and prolonged the Bear's career. Notre Dame has won two titles that I dont agree AT ALL WITH. The '46 team AND when you talk 1966 I get fighting mad. Bama wins the titles in '64 AND '65, and is preseason #1. They blow out everybody they play. They finish 10-0 in the regular season (they won their bowl game too, but as you well know Im sure, the national champions were crowned before the bowl games in those days), and somehow get jumped by Notre Dame AND Michigan State because of that stupid tie, and ND is crowned national champions. Thats why it doesnt bother me at all to see Notre Dame pay today for stealing titles, especially the '66 season. But yes, the Army teams of the 40s, especially the ones with Mr Inside and Mr Outside, would HAVE to deserve some consideration..this would be a great thread, dont you agree?
