<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Historic_occurrences">Historic occurrences</h3></div> Throughout most of the 20th century, a number of challenges made it impossible to ordinarily schedule the two top teams for a single post-season title fight: <ul><li>Some schools, most notably <a href="/wiki/Notre_Dame_Fighting_Irish_football" title="Notre Dame Fighting Irish football">Notre Dame</a>, declined to play in bowl games for many years.<a href="#cite_note-RockneWouldHaveAgreedAra-36">[36]</a></li> <li>Conference tie-ins prevented certain conference champions from ever meeting in a

bowl game invitations were extended in mid-November, locking in teams with subsequent late-season losses.<a href="#cite_note-1990BowlInvitesTooEarly-213">[204]</a></li></ul> Through luck and fortuitous scheduling, a "national championship game" was occasionally able to settle the matter on the field, as described in some contemporaneous reports.<a href="#cite_note-OnlyLuckEnsuresNationalChampionshipGame-35">[35]</a> Despite the promotional billing, in several instances there were plausible scenarios for a third team to be selected as national champion by the major selectors, depending on outcomes of other games. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid

Retrieved August 14, 2022. <q>The American Football Coaches Association, acting on a proposal by United Press International, has voted to permit member coaches to extend their future U.P.I. rankings of the top 10 teams to include results of postseason bowl games. Since their Inception in 1950, rankings by the U.P.I. board of 35 coaches—five from each of the nation's seven geographical areas—have ended each year with the final Saturday of the regular season. This action will conform with the practice of the Associated Press, whose final ratings based on the votes of sports writers and broadcasters, include the bowl results. — A.F.C.A. members for many years expressed preference for including only regular-season games in the U.P.I. board's final rankings, A factor in the decision was the circumstance of first-ranked Alabama losing to fourth-ranked Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl this season. — In a separate action, the A.F.C.A. recommended that no votes be cast by them or anyone else for football teams the National Collegiate A.A. has placed on probation, with sanctions, for violating the N.C.A.A. code.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=The+New+York+Times&rft.atitle=Sports+News+Briefs+%E2%80%94+U.P.I.+Poll+to+Include+Bowl+Results&rft.date=1974-01-17&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F1974%2F01%2F17%2Farchives%2Fsports-news-briefs-upi-poll-to-include-bowl-results-quartet-shoots.html&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ACollege+football+national+championships+in+NCAA+Division+I+FBS" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-205"><a href="#cite_ref-205">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150524155621/http://afca.com/article/article.php?id=USAPOLL_INTRO">"Amway Coaches Poll"</a>.
