Abstract: Let $ G$ be a finite group, $ p$ a prime, and $ P$ a Sylow $ p$-subgroup of $ G$. Several recent refinements of the McKay conjecture suggest that there should exist a bijection between the irreducible characters of $ p'$-degree of $ G$ and the irreducible characters of $ p'$-degree of $ \mathbf{N}_G(P)$, which preserves field of values of correspondent characters (over the $ p$-adics). This strengthening of the McKay conjecture has several consequences. In this paper we prove one of these consequences: If $ p>2$, then $ G$ has no non-trivial $ p'$-degree $ p$-rational irreducible characters if and only if $ \mathbf{N}_G(P)=P$.
