1966 Notre Dame

The October poll is obviously over, and here are the results:

For the question, which Notre Dame title (or non-title) is the most controversial?
1966: "Tie one for the Gipper" 56 (84%)
1946: The most famous tie in college football history 6 (9%)
1947: The vote that didn't count 3 (4%)
1993: "But we beat Florida State" 1 (1%)

Basically, you're all in line with the book, which does include a top 10 list of all-time.
Nick Eddy (No. 47), here making a move with Rocky Bleier just below him (No. 28), was Notre Dame’s leading rusher and finished third in Heisman Trophy voting, but didn’t play in the biggest game of the year, the 10-10 tie against Michigan State. He slipped getting off the train at East Lansing and aggravated his shoulder injury. Courtesy of the University of Notre Dame.
