Battle for the Rag 20sumpin to nothing late 60s- believe it was that Cotton Bowl snub year.
Very first CFB game was also a LSU beatdown of Tulame the year before in the old Sugar Bowl, site of my first NFL game with Kilmer and Abramowicz beating the Steelers.

November, 1969. LSU 27 Tulane 0. Everyone was calling this LSU's bowl game since the players rejected an offer to play in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl after being offered, then reneged on - a chance to play #1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl in favor of )&**%&&**^&*(*)) Notre Dame. Everyone as saying '62-0...62-0' but it was clearly a let-down game for the players.
If Mac had kicked a game-tying FG vs Ole Miss on November 1 in Jackson, the 9-0-1 Tigers may have officially gotten that Cotton Bowl bid...but they lost and ended up 9-1.
