Pop quiz - which was the first non-Ivy school to be voted national collegiate champion? :D

Hint: beating Penn was the clincher.

No title was awarded contemporaneously prior to 1901, the 19th century selections are all retroactive. It also helped that one of the chief selectors, Parke Davis, voted an Ivy each year through 1913, although he slipped in two titles for Lafayette College, where he coached from 1895-1897, and awarded LC a third national title in 1926 over Alabama and Stanford with a schedule that included such national powers as Muhlenberg, Albright, Dickinson, Washington & Jefferson, and Susquehanna.

Good thing he wasn't hired at Lehigh, correct? xlolx

"The 1896 Lafayette football team represented Lafayette College in the sport of American football during the 1896 college football season. The team was retroactively selected as the co-national champion by two selectors, the National Championship Foundation and Parke H. Davis. Lafayette's national championship this season was one of the most surprising and dramatic in the early history of college football."

His hockey team just keeps on winning playoff series after playoff series.

Tremendous video, educational and humorous with no other than this year's #1 sports commentator, Eli Manning.xrotatehx
