There are so many sticken polls out there that rated their own national champions back in the day that they might have 4 or 5 different ones each year. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
The six that some claim would be 1938, 1940, 1950, 1951, 1967, 1998 but only two are actually major polls. Some will still claim that 4 were by major polls those being 38, 50, 51, and 98.
Either way, it is still more than Va Tech since that is what the actual discussion is about. They can't even claim one from the Roanoke Tribune so who cares.

The only one You Tee has won in modern times had a lot of "magic" in it. A pass interference call (bad call, admitted by officials later) and a fumble at the end of another game could have been 2 losses. Just one of those years. Syracuse and Arkansas were those 2 teams if I recall correctly.

No. It wasn't.

Doesn't that happen in a lot if not most games? Funny how the fans of the small penis syndrome Tech only cry about that. If they'd lost either of those games, guess what they'd still been playing in the NC game. The reason that fumble happened was because 1 bad mofo named Bill Ratliffe absolutely raped the OL of Arky and sent a linemen landing on top of Stoerner. It wasn't like he was in the shotgun, got the snap, layed it on the ground, and ran away.
That "magic" can and does happen in most championship seasons. Whether it be Ed Reed's pick against BC, OU or UF this year, or countless other years. It doesn't make that season any less relevent.

I edited my post about the fumble and that's a more than just explanation of it. There's a reason it happened, it was effort, hustle, and being that much better. The timing was the only "magic" part of it.

Didn't something questionable happen against Florida that year too? I remember Cuse and Arkansas but can't remember if the other weird instance was in the Florida game or not..
They beat UF in overtime.

I was thinking there was some sort of dubious call in that one. Maybe my memory is bad though.
Nope. Not much offense at all in that one actually. It was a defensive struggle. UF could have tied it in overtime and missed a chip shot.
