College Football Championships: Bias No More!

I am convinced by looking at the polls, history, (Big Bias in Midwestern Voting)Especially between 1940-1980! Modern ERA of NCAA Football 1936-onward,that Notre Dame has the MOST=undeserving championships awarded to them especially in 1977 and 1966 while on the other hand Alabama in 1973(Lost to N.D.24-23).
Bottom Line is when Bear Bryant said "We sure don't win any popularity contests around here" He was calling out the bias of the Midwest Press and Catholic Religion of the day!!!
If you look at the polls year by year and team by team, you will see that some teams (N.Dame etc won championships without playing TOUGHER competition in Bowl Games electing not to go and Championships being awarded before Bowls. So much garbage took place, that it makes me sick to look at all the teams that were unjustly treated!!!
NOW THAT THE BCS IS IN PLACE AND SOON A PLAYOFF=MEANS THAT THE SEC WILL CONTINUE TO REIGN SUPREME WITH ALABAMA LEADING THE WAY UNTIL FOOTBALL IS NO MORE!!!
Goodbye to the injustices of yesterday!!! From *1936* till now here is your real ranking for top programs (Real Championships in ())
