The Tigers were unranked to start the season, made some big jumps to get into the top five and then took the No. 1 ranking and unbeaten record into the Orange Bowl against Nebraska. Quarterback Homer Jordan led coach Danny Fords team to a 22-15 victory that still stands as the greatest in program history.---No. 24 (tie) Colorado (7)Championships -- One (1990).Most recent No. 1 ranking -- 1990 final.Longest run at No. 1 -- Four straight polls, Nov. 20, 1990-1990 finalBest decade -- 1990s, four times.Best No. 1 team -- 1990.Russos reasoning: The championship was controversial. The 1990 team benefited from the infamous fifth down game, during which the Buffaloes scored the winning touchdown on a mistakenly given fifth down against Missouri. And a clipping penalty against Notre Dame on Raghib Ismails fourth-quarter punt return for a touchdown helped them win the Orange Bowl. The coaches poll crowned Georgia Tech its champion.

Because the Bruins played in the Rose Bowl the previous season, the Trojans got to go after the 1954 season, which helps explain why the AP wasnt doing a poll after the postseason in those days---No. 28 Texas A&M (6 1/2)Championships -- One (1939).Most recent No. 1 ranking -- Nov. 11, 1957.Longest run at No. 1 -- Four straight polls, Nov. 11, 1939-1939 final.Best decade -- 1950s, 3 1/2 times.Best No. 1 team -- 1939.Russos reasoning: Coach Homer Nortons Aggies rolled through the Southwest Conference, allowing only eight points in six games.
