There's never in history been a time when the college football champions and the Super Bowl Champions came from the same state within the same year. Is LA going to be the first?

No. It has been done before. There was a post on this already, but I'm too lazy to go search for it.

Id be willing to bet its the first time it will have been done by a state with only one NFL team.

Yes there has been. And not only was it in the same state, but the same city.
1976 - Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Panthers.

Pretty cool. Unlike Pennsylvania, however, we have no other NFL team (Eagles) or other legitimate D-1 football power (Penn State).

I don't think that's correct. The Steelers won the second of back-to-back Super Bowl titles for the 1975 season in the 1976 Super Bowl, but the Panthers won the national championship for the 1976 SEASON. That's not what the OP was asking. Has this ever been done during the same football season? I don't think it has. The Horns won the 1970 football title, and then the Cowboys won the Super Bowl for the 1971 season. Similar to the Pitt/Pitt double titles claimed here.

Pitt Panthers won an MNC for the 1976 season.
Steelers won the '75 and '78 Super Bowls, but not '77 (which would have been the year Pitt was #1).
So, it wasn't them, if it's been done before.

I also believe that Pitt won a share of the national title in 1981, the year after the Steelers won their fourth Super Bowl. It was a great time to be a football fan in Pittsburgh with 4 Super Bowl titles and 2 national championships in the same city within seven years.

Wrong.. Steelers was the 95 steelers. (the super bowl was in 76 is all)
ETA: too late, few others beat me to it.

Are you telling me that in all of the 562 national championships that Bama claims, there was no NFL team in B'ham or Mobile?
I call bullshite.
All Bama had to do was start a franchise in one of those cities and they could have just moved their graduating seniors to their professional team. Then they would have had just as many Super Bowls, as they do 'claimed' national champs of the NCAA.

AND will Louisiana be the next?
With USC coming back and the 49'ers back, it could happen in CA.
One thing for sure, it won't happen anytime soon in Colorado, or Penn, or Ohio, or New York, Carolina, on and on and on.
It damned sure won't be Alabama.
I like LA's chances.
