The 1950 NC won by Coach Bryant wasn't recognized by the AP until 2003, 53 years later. I remember when I lived in So. Indiana, it was the front page story of the Courier Journal (out of Louisville).
OU and UK are AP co-Champs of 1950. The only other time the AP has selected two teams was in 1947 when ND was selected just after the regular season, then the AP also crowned Michigan NC's in 1947 after their bowl victory. But Michigan didn't have to wait 53 years for recognition.
