Everyone on this board has talked about ad nauseum the "14 titles" and they've been debunked several times over. but in case you live in a cave, here:

Moving on, It makes me happy when some Bama fans make this claim because it just reminds me that they are stupid and don't know much about college football. Straight up. And before you on the offensive, I am fully aware that LSU has its fair share of dumb/obnoxious/arrogant/whatever you want to call them as well. Lets be honest, every team has them, no exceptions.

The difference is, not many other fan bases tend to carry such an egregious lie/exaggeration as a "calling card" or motto if you will.

Here's my question for knowledgeable Bama fans, and many of you I know know your stuff:

Do you make this claim too along with the masses? Do you ever correct your fellow bama fan?

What say you gump nation.....?

The OP is just another reason as to why I favor summary executions.

2012 national champions and three out of four is enough to make me say we're better than everyone else.

I really don't understand why so many rivals care about what titles we claim from 60 years ago.

After reading your insightful post, I clicked on your link expecting to read an intellectual discussion. Instead I found mindless drivel.

Here's the thing: I am happy to go with the AP poll prior to the BCS era as the be all and end all of college football national championships. The entire college football world recognized it as such. And Alabama, by winning their ninth tonight, will have more than anyone else.

Your linked article was moronic, because it calls out Alabama for claiming the 1964 title which was awarded before the bowls, yet it ignores the fact that Alabama doesn't claim 1966 even though Notre Dame not only had a tie but refused to play in a bowl. So it's really simple...certainly simple enough for you to understand: If final polls taken before bowls don't count, then none of Notre Dame's national championships in years where they refused to play in bowls count, either.

I agree 1941 is a bogus as a $3 bill. The ones prior to the poll era were all awarded to teams who were undefeated and many of whom won the Rose Bowl so Bama has as much claim to them as anyone. The ones where Bama split the UPI and AP when those were awarded before the Bowl game...well, that was how they did it back then so what's wrong with Bama and whatever other school both claiming it? Kind of like USC and LSU in 2003 or Miami and Washington in 1991. I don't go around talking about how many titles Bama has unless I encounter a really obnoxious LSU fan who wants to have a dick measuring contest and run down Bama's program. Then and only then will I play the "14 card".

I hate Bama as much as the next Tiger, but do you realize how pathetic this looks on the day they're going for their 3rd NC in 4 years?
