Østsiden and Ørn were relegated from Group A. Brann, who won the 1963 1. divisjon, had ambitions to make the stay at the second-tier at short as possible, and were aiming for promotion despite having lost their big star, Roald "Kniksen" Jensen to Scottish club Hearts. Brann won their first three matches in Group B, and did not lose a single game in the first half of the season, until they lost against Bryne in August. Rosenborg, who won the 1964 Norwegian Cup and made their debut in European football this season, were one of Brann's challengers for promotion in Group B.http://byavisa.no/2006/05/09/da-kvik-var-fienden/ Norwegian Da Kvik var fienden Byavisa Thomas Myren 9 May 2006 6 March 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304124144/http://byavisa.no/2006/05/09/da-kvik-var-fienden/ 2016-03-04 dead When Brann missed a penalty and drew 0–0 against Årstad in the penultimate match,http://historie.brann.no/kniksen-forlot-brann/ Norwegian Kniksen forlot Brann SK Brann 6 March 2013 4 April 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130404155043/http://historie.brann.no/kniksen-forlot-brann/ dead while Rosenborg won 2–1 against Kvik after Tor Kleveland scored the winning goal on a penalty, Verdens Gang reported that Rosenborg had secured promotion even though they were only two points ahead of Brann and Hødd, and had a 12 and 6 goals better goal-difference respectively.
