Selecting a national champion in college football has always been an arbitrary and often controversial process. In 1969, college football's centennial year, the mythical championship picture became even more contentious when President Richard Nixon tried his hand as "Pollster-in-Chief". NIXON'S NATIONAL CHAMPS is the story of how the 1969 college football national champion was crowned and the drama that surrounded it.
