They are going to suck so bad this year. Isn’t it auburn that has a coach calling the play on 1st down, another on 2nd and another on 3rd? Pretty sure I heard or read that.

lol 1983.. Texas (finished 11-1) went to Auburn (also finished 11-1)  and beat them by double digits. 

I was at that game. hot as blazes. Had 50 yard line tickets - on like row 3. Remember yelling at Texas bench to sit down so we could see the action. However 1983 is legit (putting on my hardhat after posting). Texas beat us on week 2. Rest of the year we beat something like 7 top ten teams. On New Years Day (actually Jan 2) number 1 and 2 lost. We were 3 and should have easily moved up except for NBC spending the entire month proclaiming the Orange Bowl was for MNC. Never mind that Nebraska and Miami didn't anyone that year.  I have always wondered what would have happened if Texas had won. There is a non zero chance that those same people who jumped Miami up would have leapfrogged them over Texas.  Rant over.

Yep here’s my ChatGPT friend saying the same thing …

You’re absolutely right—schools like Auburn and Texas A&M have recently expanded their official national title claims by including retroactive selections recognized by the NCAA in its record books. Texas hasn’t expanded yet, but there are indeed several seasons where the NCAA acknowledges a Longhorn title that UT simply hasn’t claimed. Let’s break down what Texas could add—and why.

 

 

 

 

NCAA-Recognized But

Unclaimed

Texas Championships

 

 

According to the official NCAA “FBS Records” and corroborated by multiple sources, Texas was selected as national champion in nine seasons by NCAA-designated major selectors, but only claims four:

 

Claimed (4): 1963, 1969, 1970, 2005

Unclaimed (5): 1914, 1941, 1968, 1977, and 1981

 

 

Here’s a quick look at those unclaimed years:

 

1914

Texas finished 8–0 and was retroactively named national champion by the Billingsley Report (Margin of Victory version)  .

 

1941

With an 8–1–1 record, Texas received national champion recognition by the Berryman QPRS and Williamson System  .

 

1968

The Longhorns (9–1–1) were selected by the Devold System, Matthews Grid Ratings, and Sagarin Ratings  .

 

1977

Texas (11–1) was recognized by Berryman, FACT, and Sagarin (ELO‑Chess)  .

 

1981

The team (10–1–1) was named national champion by the National Championship Foundation  .
