One thing Bama excels at is "national championships" won on paper, but lost on the field.
Witness '64,'73, and '78. (In '78 they lost at home decisively to USC during the regular season, but then split the NC with the Trojans on paper at season's end)
Of course they still claim these paper "titles".
Looks to me like they would have more pride.

We finished the '78 regular season #2 in both polls (USC lost to an unranked team after beating Bama and fell in the polls). We played #1 Penn State in the Sugar Bowl and won. Usually when #2 beats #1, it's only logical the #2 team moves to #1...even so, #3 USC jumped over us in one poll so it was a split national championship (Bama won the AP, SC won the UPI)..there's not a school in the nation that wouldn't have claimed that one...
