USC and notre dame both claim pre poll era titles. Just like Alabama does. Those teams were celebrated at the time as champions. Who gives a shite when they were officially recognized?
Aside from the bullshite 1941(which no bama fan will argue in favor of), we don’t claim non poll titles after 1936.

About 1941........
In 1941, Alabama lost 14-0 at home to eventual SEC champion Mississippi State and 7-0 at Vanderbilt. Atechson defended the 1941 inclusion for years, arguing the Mississippi State loss came in the rain, the Vanderbilt defeat was close, and that Alabama was the country’s best team by the end of the season thanks to wins over Georgia (8-1-1), Tennessee (8-2) and Texas A&M (9-2). -- CBS Sports
Atcheson should've been fired trying to claim 1941!!
