Here's the deal win the championship out right and you don't have to "claim" shite you dip frick gumps. Auburn was awarded the 2004 championship by Sporting News, maybe we should "claim" that one.

This sentence wraps up just how ignorant most of you are. There is no championship to win "out right". Alabama doesn't "claim" titles. Alabama lists the national championships AWARDED to us by polls that we consider reputable.

If you don't like who the poll awarded that year, tell the people who run the poll. If you think The Sporting News is a legitimate national championship, and you're willing to defend it as a legitimate title, go ahead and list it.

I personally wish we didn't list 1941, because it is the least defensible title we have and the Houlgate is not reputable enough to overcome the controversial pick. If it were the AP, I'd say list it and tell everyone to screw themselves. But in my mind, the Houlgate is not a strong enough poll by itself to stand on its own with a controversial pick.

Alabama lists 15 titles awarded by polls that its sports info department considers legitimate. I don't "claim" anything, except that you are bitter and ignorant, and don't understand your own argument.
