IU did all of their scoring against the reserves from PSU that day.

One of them games where the score was nowhere near indicative of the actual game.

PSU held onto #1 in the coaches poll after beating OSU 63-14, and dropped in the Associated Press poll to #2...the next week, Penn State dropped to #2 in the coaches poll by a result of the "score" rather than the actual game.

I started up a dynasty as Bama to get this trophy along with the trophy for winning every game by 21+. Midway through the season I dropped from #1 to #3 being passed by undefeated Ohio State and Iowa. I changed my schedule to get rid of Bama's cupcake schedule and gave them an A+ SOS. The next season I scheduled as many top 5 ranked teams I could. And periodically checked the standings and teams were sometimes within 50 points of catching me in the polls, I stayed at a consistent 1500.

This may be cheating, but in order to remain #1 I would go to the scores and schedules and play against the #2 ranked team and beat them for the sake of getting this trophy. Once it was mine I deleted the dynasty.
