High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1957 college football season saw two different national champions. Auburn University was ranked first in the AP writers` poll taken at season`s end, while Ohio State University was first in the UPI coaches` poll.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1958 college football season was notable in that it was the first to feature the two point conversion. On January 13, 1958, the 11-man NCAA Rules Committee unanimously approved a resolution to allow teams to choose between kicking an extra point after a touchdown, or running or passing from the 3 yard line for 2 points. University of Michigan athletic director Fritz Crisler said at the meeting in Fort Lauderdale, "It`s a progressive step which will make football more interesting for the spectators," adding that the rule "will add drama to what has been the dullest, most stupid play in the game."

Both teams would meet again in the fall classic thirty-eight years later—by that time, the Braves had moved to Atlanta.
