First, there was no such thing as a "National Championship Game" in 1958.
Second, Iowa won the Rose Bowl game, against California, 38-12. There was no tie.
Third, noone with a brain would say that LSU won the 1958 national championship. LSU's racist schedulers prevented them from playing teams with black athletes. By every measure their SOS was pathetic compared to Iowas, because they played no black athletes and a 10 second look at their season schedule shows that Iowa played tougher opponents and had more impressive wins.
How much credit would a team that refused to play black athletes get today for going undefeated? None-that is why that racist LSU team is viewed with such disdain to this very day.
LSU beat their Sugar bowl opponent in a home game(LA) a measly 7-0.
Iowa beat their integrated bowl opponent in a road game(in CA, playing Cal) 38-12 and set or tied 7 Rose Bowl records.
If Iowa and LSU had played (that is if LSU weren't racist POS) Iowa would have crushed LSU that year. That is why no one outside of LSU fans believe LSU has any legitimate claim to a racist undefeated weak schedule.
The polls of the day were every bit as racist and biased as LSU schedulers were and voted LSU #1 to spite Iowa for having black athletes.
Iowa was awarded the 1958 national championship trophy by the FWAA, which was the most widely sports writers association of that day.
The 1958 National Title Trophy resides in Iowa City, IA at the Iowa Hall of Fame Museum.

What team won the 1958 college football national championship?
According to two of the four major polling organizations, the AP and the UPI, the 1958 LSU team (11-0 record) were granted the title of National Champions prior to bowl games and the end of the season. However, according to the Football Writers Association of America, which was the most well recognized and respected college football Association of the time and voted AFTER the Bowl Games, in 1958 the title went the University of Iowa Hawkeyes (8-1-1) who won the ROSE BOWL 38-12 against California that year. The Hawkeyes were awarded the Grantland Rice Award National Title Trophy following the 1958 season. The NCAA recognizes four voting authorities from 1954 to present day. The NCAA recognizes both LSU and Iowa as "National Champions" from 1958. Partly because Iowa played a much more difficult "integrated"(black and white athletes) schedule, due in part the fact that LSU refused to schedule or play against black athletes due to still being racist bigots that year. Further, there have been many years when conflicting National Champions were named by differing organizations prior to the Championship Bowl Game including years where Undefeated teams were not name National Champions in favor of other teams who played a more difficult schedule and had 1 loss, specifically during the 1950's and the 1960's.

Has the university of Iowa football team ever won a national championship?
The answer is YES! And the University of Iowa Hawkeyes are four times football National Champions. College Football National Champions were selected beginning in 1869 with Princeton and Rutgers being selected. Princeton was selected in 1870. No selection was made in 1871 (and that is the only year without a selection). The original three, and only at the time, selecting organizations were Billingsley, Parke Davis, and National Championship Foundation. In 1884 Helms (of Helms Bakery) was added to the selectors. In 1885 Houlgate was added. Football Research and Boand joined in 1919 to make a total of seven selectors. AP became a selector in 1936, UPI in 1950, and Football Writers of America in 1954; and there were others added and dropped. Of the old selectors, Parke Davis dropped out in 1934, Houlgate in 1950, Boand in 1957, Helms in 1976, Football Research in 1992, National Championship Foundation in 2002, and Billingsley (from 1869) and Football Writers of America (from 1954) are still selecting National Champions. Youngsters may not be familiar with the Football Writers of America but they were, and are, as the name implies, sports writers of the national newspapers of the USA. For 1921 and 1922, Iowa was selected as National Champion by Billingsley (each year), and Parke Davis selected Iowa also in 1921. For 1956, Football Research selected Iowa as National Champion, along with selections by others of Georgia, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. For 1958, the Football Writers of America, ranked the Iowa Hawkeyes as #1 and National Champions. The trophy rests not far from Nile Kinnick's Heisman won in 1939, in the recently opened Iowa Athletic Museum. Its been a while but there is always next year. RMM.
