Chris Fowler just said something I didn't quite understand on Game Day. Here is what I think I heard:

"Alabama and Auburn: two champions in one state. That's never happened in college football or basketball or the NFL or the NBA".

I immediately start to tabulate what schools have won college football championships, accoridng to the writer's poll, (from 1936) the coach's poll (from 1950) or the BCS, (from 1998):

Alabama: Alabama, Auburn

California: Southern California, UCLA

Colorado: Colorado

Florida: Florida, Florida State, Miami

Georgia: Georgia, Georgia Tech

Indiana: Notre Dame

Louisiana: Louisiana State

Maryland: Maryland

Michigan: Michigan, Michigan State

Minnesota: Minnesota

Nebraska: Nebraska

New York: Army, Syracuse

Ohio: Ohio State

Oklahoma: Oklahoma

Pennsylvania: Penn State, Pittsburgh

South Carolina: Clemson

Tennessee: Tennessee

Texas: Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Christian

Utah: Brigham Young

Washington: Washington

So eight states, including ours, have produced more than one NCAA football champion. (20 states have produced champions: 30 have not.) I guess Chris was trying to say something else.
