Was wondering when was the last time there was a regular season game between the 2 previous National Champs (like LSU/Florida this coming October), so I did a little digging:

Hasn't happened since '82, was wasn't uncommon before that.

• UGA('80) / Clemson('81) played in '82
• ND('77) / USC('78) played in '79
• Pitt('76) / ND('77) played in '78
• ND('73) / USC('74) played in '75
• ND('66) / USC('67) played in '68 TIE
• MichSt('65) / ND('66) played in '67***
• Texas('63) / Arky('64) played in '65

***The '67 game between ND/MichSt. is the 1st one I found between teams that plit the title the previous season.

So, it hasn't happened in 26 years, but happened 7 times in the previous 26.

Somewhat decent shot at it happening again next season with UF and UGA (both have decent shots this season) on our slate again next season.

so who won most? the previous NC or the previous, previous NC?

4-2-1 in favor of the defending champ :thumb:
