That site is interesting.
According to it, Bama has 5 national championships where bama was definitely the top team in the country.
Then Bama has 4 shared national championships where another team has an equal claim to the top spot.
So, according to that site, there have been 9 total times bama can claim a title, with 5 unshared titles.

Oh yeah, great site. It is very informative. I especially like their write-up about 1936, the first year of the AP poll.
Minnesota won the inaugural AP NC over 1) LSU and Pitt who had better records and 2) Northwestern who had beaten Minnesota and won the Big Ten.
Guess where the AP poll started? If you guessed "Minneapolis" you'd be correct!
FTR, I don't buy their dismissal of LSU. The AP awarded the NC before the bowl games back then, so losing to Santa Clara in the Sugar should be more or less irrelevant, even if it is slightly embarrassing for LSU.
