ESPN Embarrasses Peyton Manning With Graphic Praising Him For Something He Didn't Even Win
Fans watching the Orange Bowl between Tennessee and Clemson were given plenty of shots featuring Peyton Manning watching his alma mater.
Unfortunately, one of those shots featured a bit of misinformation. During the network's broadcast, the cameras cut to Manning with a graphic that said he was a "1998 National Champion."

Manning never won a national championship in college. He went 8-4, 11-1, 10-2, and 11-2, losing to Florida all four years.
During his senior year, Manning's Vols beat Auburn in the SEC Championship but lost to Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Nebraska and Michigan split the polls as the No. 1 teams. The 1-loss '95 team beat Ohio State in the Citrus Bowl, but they were overshadowed by the Gators, whose only loss came to No. 1 Nebraska.
