Until #1 Ohio State did it this year with wins over then #2 Texas and then #2 Michigan, only one team had done it twice since 1963. The 1971 Nebraska #1 team defeated #2 Oklahoma 35-31 on Nov. 25, 1971, and then defeated the #2 Alabama team in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 1972 by a score of 38 - 6. It should be noted that the #2 Texas team of 1963 defeated the #1 Oklahoma team by a score of 28 - 7, on Oct. 12, 1963, and then went on, as the #1 ranked team, to defeat the #2 ranked Navy team in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 1, 1964 by a score of 28 - 6. Ohio State has a great chance for a record-setting third win over a #2 team in the BCS championship game in 2007.

The Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) has the most teams ranked in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), which was the system used to determine the national champion of college football from 1998 to 2013. The FBS is the highest level of college football in the United States and includes the largest number of teams compared to the other divisions. In contrast, the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Division II, and Division III have fewer teams and do not participate in the BCS system.
The USC trojans are never ranked high enough or in the discussion for #1 but they should be. They are the best team in College Football history! If you don't believe me ask the stats.
