1968 College Football National Championship

The 1968 college football national championship was awarded to Ohio State University after they finished the season undefeated and ranked #1 in major polls. During that era, there was no official playoff system, so rankings were determined by polls from sports writers and coaches. Ohio State's key victory was over heavily favored USC in the Rose Bowl, which served as a decisive postseason game. This win solidified their top ranking, earning them the national title. The season is remembered for intense competition and significant debate over the best team in college football that year.
