In Common With 1942 Championship Team

On SiriusXM today, I heard a neat litle tidbit:
On November 2nd of this past year, The Ohio State Buckeyes were #13 in the AP Poll.
The last and only time that a team was outside the Top 10 in November, but won the Championship was the 1942 Buckeye Championship Team.

Bump* for those who didn't see it when I posted it early this morning.

*and to post pad, because @Fungo Squiggly can suck it.

1942: (9-1) The 1942 team under Coach Paul Brown began with a first-game rout of Fort Knox, winning 59-0. Later in the season, the Buckeyes were able to battle back from a third-quarter deficit to beat Indiana 32-21. Several more victories followed against USC, Purdue, and Northwestern, but the streak ended with a loss in

Madison against the Wisconsin Badgers. While the Buckeyes left this game defeated after barely avoiding a shut-out, they rebounded with several more wins against Pitt, Illinois, and Michigan. The season ended with a win against the Iowa Seahawks, clinching the national title.
