What was bogus was the AFCA opening up the opportunity and doing such a thing. That's not on Okie State. Apparently the AFCA felt Okie State was a better team than Army.
The AFCA is run by Todd Berry, a former Army head coach who failed there and hates the program.
Not every program accepts those claims. Notre Dame doesn't.
The AFCA was a joke for even picking Okie State and Okie State was a joke for submitting a claim. This overview proves it: https://tiptop25.com/champ1945.html
1945 Army is one of the greatest teams of all ever playing a loaded schedule. Okie State would have lost by 40 points. [Reply]

I mean, I don’t think so, but you kind of have to wonder a little?
21-6 lead, all the momentum, control of the game, and you do that?
Like someone said to them at halftime, ‘hey, it would be in the Big 12’s best interest to get a team into the playoff and we know you all aren’t with 2 losses, so . . . . . . ‘
I think I’ll just chalk it up to a really dumb coaching decision. [Reply]

You know that's the equivalent of telling someone "fuck you forever" because their grandparents accepted an award 70 years ago? [Reply]

Yeah, it's just being overly aggressive and probably playing analytics... Baylor has nothing to lose, except where they go for a non-playoff bowl game. [Reply]

I don't care.
They have a giant 1945 National Championship sign plastered in their stadium. Not a fan of historical revisionism. Any CFB expert in 1945 would have laughed at OKST being considered a title candidate. [Reply]
