NWMSU was the current holder of The Man title, so that game unified the title.
Central Washington now currently holds the title of "The Man" now.
After the Central Washington win, I couldn't find any records of their yearly results anywhere on their website, but remembered this site here....
http://michigan-football.com/ncaa/ncaa_ii.htm and I pretty much used that site from there on to determine "The Man", and thus why I don't have a whole lot of dates from that point on.
If anybody can fill in those missing dates or track it back from an earlier champion, it would be a big help as well. In theory here, all NC winners were the Man, even if it was just an interim title.
