REPORT

Washington Huskies won the National Collegiate Athletic Association Football Division 1A title after triumphing 34-14 over Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl, a match-up between the Pacific-10 Conference Champions and the Big 10 Champions (Upper Midwest) in Pasadena, California. At the end of the season the huskies were 12-0 (Won-Loss), tied with Miami Hurricanes (also 12-0) but got the vote from the Press, who decided the National Champions by vote in the absence of a National Playoff system. Washington Huskies had won the Pacific 10 Conference and #6 ranked Michigan Wolverines the Big 10 Conference. The #2 Hurricanes defeated #15 ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers 22-0 in the Orange Bowl in Nebraska’s first shutout for 18 years in what was almost like a home game for Miami, being played in the city; Miami had won the Big East Conference and Nebraska the Big 8 (Prairie States) Conference.

In the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, #4 Florida State Seminoles, an Independent, had defeated #13 Texas A&M Aggies, the SWC (South Western Conference) Champions, 10-2. In another match-up between an Independent and a Conference Champion, #12 Notre Dame Fighting Irish won the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, Louisiana with a 39-28 victory over #7 Florida Gators, the SEC (South Eastern Conference) Champions. Another Bowl featuring a Conference Champion was the Holiday Bowl, featuring the WAC (Western Athletic Conference) Champions, #24 Brigham Young Cougars and #10 Iowa Hawkeyes, which finished in a 13-all tie; The final Bowl Game featuring Conference Champions saw #17 ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) Champions Clemson Tigers lose to #8 California Golden Bears 13-37 in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida.
