"Has there been a #1 vs #2"?? last game of the regular season

Yes, 1969 the annual Texas Arkansas game. It was tabbed the "Game of the Century" Texas being #1 Arkansas being #2. Was so big they moved the original midseason date to the last game of the year. Hogs led 14 to 0 most the game, and instead of kicking a short field goal to ice the game, they threw a INT at the goal line. Texas moved it out to midfield and threw a bomb with time running out on 4th down, and completed it inside Arkansas' ten, and scored the winning TD after going for two points. Longhorns won 14 to 15.
President Nixon and other delegates were in attendance. Nixon went into the Longhorn lockerroom and awarded the National Championship to Texas, which pissed off the Penn State people.

Back then the NC was awarded before bowl games. Texas went on to lose their bowlgame, and Arkansas won theirs against Florida or OleMiss, can't recall.
And yea, this is a huge game for both teams this Friday considering the winner goes on to play for a National Championship.
I like the fact the media, LSU fans and Bama fans are thinking its LSU and Bama replaying things later and disregarding the Hawgs. The lack of respect tends to motivate the Hawgs, much like when Les Miles called Arkansas, Ar-Kansas in 2007 when you were again ranked #1 and the Hawgs upset the Tiger at BR. Has Les been mouthing off again I hope?
