Trivia :

Goofs : Factual errors: The National Championship in 59 was awarded prior to the Bowl Games, so the speech about “whichever bowl we accept we will be National Champions if we win” was a moot point. It was just about defending the pollster’s choice at that point. It was the final regular season game against UCLA (which just beat #4 USC) that earned them the National Championship. The movie pays no attention to this game (which was broadcast on national TV) except to show the post game celebration.
