won the Natty
They were the only undefeated team left. They had contractual obligations that forced them into the crappy bowl. They pretty much won it by default. There just wasn't anyone else clear. At that time there was no championship system whatsoever. No alliance, bcs or playoffs. Just conferences tied to bowls and bowls giving invites where they please, and writers voting for it. That's why it's mythical. "National Champions" just meant something different then
