I disagree.

That 1925 Rose Bowl should count as a NC for Bama. And if that one counts for Bama, I'm willing to count each of their Rose Bowl wins as NCs.

Furthermore, I think your criteria is too subjective.

I've presented this list to you in another thread, but I stand by it as being 1. 'official' (as official as it can) 2. unbiased (or at least minimum bias) and 3. independent of this site.

While not their comprehensive list, it is a subset of that list. I contend that in sub-setting the master list, the NCAA is giving more weight to these awards than others. I'm willing to acknowledge the NCAA sub-setted list as authoritative.

Alabama - 13 (1925, 1926, 1930, 1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012)
LSU - 4 (1908, 1958, 2003, 2007)
UF - 3 (1996, 2006, 2008)
Auburn - 2 (1957, 2010)
UT - 2 (1951, 1998)
A&M - 2 (1919, 1939)
UGA - 1 (1980)
Ark - 1 (1964)
Mississippi - 1 (1960)
