Nixon awarded the "national championship" trophy to Tx after they beat Arkie 15-14 in the last game of the season.
Depends on what you mean by national championship. He basically had a plaque made and declared the winner national champion. The AP didn't award until after the bowls, but as long a TX won out, they were going to get it anyway. TX and Ark were 1/2 after Michigan beat undefeated Ohio State
on 11/22/69. Penn State's also went undefeated in 1968 (11-0 and also Orange Bowl champs). At the end of 69 they hadn't lost (1 tie to FSU in the 67 Gator Bowl) in 30 games. The were independent and the Boise St of their day (except their huge fan base made them appealing to Bowls).
