I hate historical data sometimes. Just like scUM has won 20 national titles, 18 of those when they were the only football school in the country!

Iowa Pre-Flight should count. These war era "Schools" featured some of the best talent from rosters all over the region, including guys that had been at Ohio State but opted to go fight in WWII.
I believe Paul Brown even coached Iowa Pre-flight for a bit, maybe BB73 knows for sure.
Anyway, it sounds like it shouldn't count, but you better believe IPF had some talent....
Oh, and in line with you're historical champion stuff, I couldn't agree more. An embarassing chunk - all but 2 - of their titles were "awarded" by retroactive services.
