The 1961 Rose Bowl was the 47th Rose Bowl game, played on January 2, 1961, in Pasadena, California. The Washington Huskies defeated the top-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers, 17–7. Washington quarterback Bob Schloredt returned from a mid-season injury was named the Player Of The Game for the second straight year.[2] As New Year's Day fell on a Sunday, the major bowl games were played on Monday.
This was the first season of the new agreement with the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) to send their champion. Its predecessor, the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), had dissolved after the 1958 season. The Big Ten was no longer in a formal agreement with the Rose Bowl following the demise of the PCC:[3] Big Ten champion Minnesota received and accepted an "at-large" invitation.
Hope that helps
I am aware of all of the the above.
The AAWU consisted of five-teams, to wit: UCLA, USC, Stanford, California and Washington.
Unaware that the game vs. Minnesota was billed as a Natty . . .

So the only five programs that mattered back then.
Sounds like an improvement on the current dreck 12 to me.

You won a fake natty and hung it in your stadium 50 years after the fact.
You all knew it was stupid until you went retarded.
Most of their opponents were Independents, i.e., (University of Pacific, Navy, Idaho, Oregon and Oregon State

Yeah, it was so much better back then.
The Washington National Champs were virtually all white. Check it out.
Let sleeping Dawgs lie.
The current Husky scout team could whip the shit out of that faux National Championship team.
“Won” in 1960; banner hung in old Husky Stadium (2007).

Learn how to claim a natty then pop off
Just the facts.
Claiming a 1960 Natty in 2007? Reeks of desperation.
Winless in 2008 . . . 0-12.
Karma.
The Oregon meme with Lanning in green as a National Champion is beyond pathetic.
No Natty.
How long has it been since Washington won a Rose Bowl?
