Best Answer

It may be legitimate, however the national champion, Texas A&M went undefeated 10-0, and USC went 8-0-2. Having two ties hurts their claim quite a bit. answer HARDLY. The NCAA records book identifies 34 different national champion major selectors from 1869 to present. A fellow named Frank Dickinson, an economics professor at Illinois, developed a mathematical system he used from 1926 to 1940 to name his so-called champion. (He predated selections in 1924 and 1925). He, and he alone, among the 15 selectors choosing a champion for that year, chose USC. Two others chose Cornell. The remainder chose Texas A & M.
