The '''1970 NCAA University Division football season''' was marked by tragedy, due to two airplane crashes.  On October 2, one of the planes carrying the [[Wichita State Shockers football|Wichita State football team]] [[Wichita State University football team plane crash|crashed on the way]] to a game against [[Utah State Aggies football|Utah State]], killing 31 people on board, including 14 players.  Then, on November 14, the charter for the [[1970 Marshall Thundering Herd football season|Marshall Thundering Herd]] [[Southern Airways Flight 932|crashed on the way home]] from a game against [[1970 East Carolina Pirates football team|East Carolina]], killing all 75 persons.

At season's end, the [[1970 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska Cornhuskers]] won the [[1970 NCAA University Division football rankings|AP national championship]] after [[1970 Texas Longhorns football team|Texas]] and [[1970 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|Ohio State]] both lost their [[bowl game]]s on [[New Year's Day]].

No new teams were reclassified in the University Division for the 1971 season. A total of 119 teams competed in the University Division during the 1971 season.<ref>{{cite news|title=65 Colleges Playing 11 Tilts in '70|newspaper=Austin American-Statesman|date=September 15, 1970|page=19|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/28945792/65_colleges_playing_11_tilts_in_70/|via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref>

This was the first season the NCAA allowed schools to schedule 11 regular season games.<ref name=gsgelvgm>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=CvRYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=cOsDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6876%2C4515397 |newspaper=Spokesman-Review |location=(Spokane, Washington) |agency=Associated Press |title=Grid squads get 11 games |date=January 15, 1970 |page=14 }}</ref> Some took advantage by scheduling high-profile intersectional games (Stanford-Arkansas, USC-Alabama, LSU-Notre Dame),<ref name=elvdrma>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=e0YKAAAAIBAJ&sjid=f0oDAAAAIBAJ&pg=1754%2C2572045|newspaper=Deseret News |location=(Salt Lake City, Utah)|agency=UPI|last=Smilanich |first=Steve |title=11th games add drama to season|date=September 11, 1970 |page=4B }}</ref> but others would not add the 11th game until later in the decade.

During the 20th century, the NCAA had no playoff for the major college football teams, later known as "[[NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision#History|Division I-A]]." The NCAA Football Guide, however, did note an "unofficial national champion" based on the top ranked teams in the "wire service" (AP and UPI) polls.  The [[AP Poll|"writers' poll"]] by [[Associated Press]] (AP) was the most popular, followed by the [[Coaches Poll|"coaches' poll"]] by [[United Press International]]) (UPI).

Until [[1974 NCAA Division I football season|1974]], the UPI issued its final poll before the bowls, but beginning in [[1968 NCAA University Division football season|1968]]  (also [[1965 NCAA University Division football season|1965]]), the AP Trophy was withheld until the postseason was completed. The AP poll in 1970 consisted of the votes of as many as 52 sportswriters, though not all of them voted in every poll.  Those who cast votes would give their opinion of the ten best teams.  Under a point system of 20 points for first place, 19 for second, etc., the "overall" ranking was determined.

==Rule changes==
* Teams are allowed to schedule 11 regular season games, up from 10.<ref name=gsgelvgm/><ref name=elvdrma/>
* Defensive pass interference is penalized from the spot of the foul, regardless if the pass was thrown or not.  Previously, interference before the pass was thrown was a 15-yard penalty from the previous spot.  This change would be repealed in the [[1984 NCAA Division I-A football season|1984 season]].  
* Also, defenders were not allowed to touch pass receivers if the receiver had caught up to them in their pattern or if it was obvious they were attempting to catch a pass.
* Cleat length is reduced from 3/4 inches to 1/2 inch.

'''September 12:''' No. 3 USC beat No. 16 [[1970 Alabama Crimson Tide football team|Alabama]] 42–21 at [[Legion Field|Birmingham]]; the integrated Trojans' lopsided victory over the all-white Crimson Tide has often been described as a symbolic moment in the desegregation of college football in the South.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29898540/amid-racial-reckoning-50-year-old-usc-alabama-football-game-carries-new-meaning|title = Amid a racial reckoning, a 50-year-old USC-Alabama football game carries new meaning|date = 16 September 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uscbhm.com/cunningham|title=Sam "Bam" Cunningham - #USCBHM: Black History Month at USC Athletics}}</ref> In another showdown between southern and Californian teams, No. 4 Arkansas lost to No. 10 [[1970 Stanford Indians football team|Stanford]] 34–28 at Little Rock.

==November==
'''November 7:''' No. 1 [[1970 Texas Longhorns football team|Texas]] won at Baylor 21–14. No. 2 [[1970 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team|Notre Dame]] beat Pittsburgh 46–14 at home.

No. 3 Nebraska beat Oklahoma 28–21 at home to finish its season unbeaten. Despite a first-place preseason ranking and an undefeated record, Ohio State had fallen all the way to No. 5, one spot behind their nemesis Michigan. In the second installment of "[[The Ten Year War]]," the rivals squared off in Columbus with the Big Ten championship and a spot in the [[1971 Rose Bowl|Rose Bowl]] on the line.

No. 7 Tennessee which had beaten Vanderbilt 24–6 in Nashville, moved up in the next poll: No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Nebraska, No. 4 Arkansas, and No. 5 Tennessee.

==December==
'''December 5:''' No. 1 [[1970 Texas Longhorns football team|Texas]] and No. 4 [[1970 Arkansas Razorbacks football team|Arkansas]] matched up in [[Austin, Texas|Austin]] for the same stakes as [[1969 Texas vs. Arkansas football game|the previous year]]: a SWC title, a [[1971 Cotton Bowl Classic|Cotton Bowl]] berth, and the opportunity to stay in national championship contention. The Longhorns had prevailed by a single point in the 1969 game, but in 1970 they would be far more dominant, winning 42–7. With this victory, Texas closed a perfect season at 10–0, ran its winning streak to 30, and clinched the UPI national championship; their last obstacle to the AP title would be No. 6 [[1970 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team|Notre Dame]] in the Cotton Bowl. No. 2 [[1970 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|Ohio State]] and No. 3 [[1970 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]] had finished their seasons. No. 5 [[1970 Tennessee Volunteers football team|Tennessee]] defeated UCLA 28−17 and prepared to play Air Force in the [[1971 Sugar Bowl|Sugar Bowl]]. No. 8 [[LSU Tigers football|LSU]] crushed No. 16 [[Ole Miss Rebels football|Ole Miss]] 61–17 at Baton Rouge to clinch the Southeastern Conference championship and earn a berth in the [[1971 Orange Bowl|Orange Bowl]] against Nebraska. The final regular-season poll was No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Nebraska, No. 4 Tennessee, and No. 5 LSU.

In the [[Cotton Bowl Classic|Cotton Bowl]], [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|No. 6 Notre Dame]] gained revenge for its narrow defeat to [[1970 Texas Longhorns football team|No. 1 Texas]] in the previous year's Cotton Bowl by upsetting the No. 1 Longhorns, 24&ndash;11. Notre Dame Head coach [[Ara Parseghian]] created a "wishbone defense", positioning his linebackers to mirror the Texas running backs and the [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|Irish]] held the high-powered Texas running game in check.

In [[1971 Rose Bowl|Pasadena]], [[1970 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|No. 2 Ohio State]], the [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] champions, were positioned to claim the national championship as they took the field as 10 1/2 point favorites against 8&ndash;3 [[1970 Stanford Indians football team|No. 12 Stanford]] of the [[Pac-12 Conference|Pac-8]]. The Buckeyes overcame a 10&ndash;0 early deficit to take a 14&ndash;10 lead on two touchdowns by [[John Brockington]].  OSU was still ahead 17&ndash;13 after three quarters.  But Stanford, led by [[Heisman Trophy]] winner [[Jim Plunkett]] scored two fourth-quarter touchdown to stun Ohio State 27–17.<ref>"Bucks Go Ker-Plunk, 27–17," ''Independent Press-Telegram'' (Long Beach), January 2, 1971, p C-1</ref>

With the door open, [[1970 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|No. 3 Nebraska]] of the [[Big Eight Conference|Big 8]] seized the opportunity that night in [[Miami, Florida|Miami]] in the [[1971 Orange Bowl|Orange Bowl]] against stubborn [[LSU Tigers football|No. 5 LSU]] of the [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]]. Down 12–10 after three quarters, the Huskers scored a fourth-quarter touchdown and shut down the Tigers to prevail 17&ndash;12 on the new [[Poly-Turf]] and claim the national title. Nebraska took 39 of the 52 first place votes in the final AP Poll, while Notre Dame received eight, Texas three, and Arizona State (11&ndash;0) two.<ref name=nwtvanb>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=aeVVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5-ADAAAAIBAJ&pg=6696%2C868378 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard|title=Nebraska wins the vote as nation's best college club|last=Thomas|first=Ben|agency=Associated Press|date=January 5, 1971|page=3-B}}</ref>
