Curious. Written by whom?

Just things written for years. Since LT was a lower division n Bama didn't play well. Sloppy game (I was at game) But in reality we were competing against the establishment...Notre Dame...and Bama was a southern team....

I think you missed the point of the question. I was wondering what writer was giving La Tech credit, in the B-ham paper, for having a role in Bama not getting the title in '66.

It was before my time, but I do know this. Bama was #3 going into the La Tech game which they won 34-0. One thing about the next poll is Bama did see the number of #1 votes drop.

The preseason poll had Bama at #1 but they didn't play the first week and Michigan State and UCLA jumped them. The Tide went from #1, to #3, to #4 in a matter of three weeks without losing a game.

And i believe from living thru the times...it was Bama was an all white team...
As was LT..and the drop in rankings was a "weak" schedule...Tulane dropped them and they had to pick up ANYBODY....LT... well..the politics of being a southern school..intergration...ND...the 60s (had to live thru it to believe)...etc
Roll Tide..
