Bama claims titles from the last 1920's using polls that didn't exist until 1932.

LOL! Why would the SEC list Southern Conference titles? Not even the SoCon does and they are completely different conferences.
SIAA and SoCon titles prior to 33 were voted on by newspapers, similar to how national titles were. This is why there is dicey information on it. There were no official titles.

Vandy also claims conference championships in both of those conferences on their official website. Most schools do that actually won a championship in one of those conference. Of course this would eliminate Florida since your first conference championship didn't come until 1990

Your research is screwed up, idiotic on the merits and nonsensical to boot.
I am reading this article (googgle it) 1925 College Football National Championship.
It speaks of 3 or 4 of the best teams that year, Dartmouth, Mich., Pitt. and Bama.
Second paragraph ( Bama section ) starts out like this: This season he (Wade) 9-0 sharing both the Southern Conference and “unofficial” “champion of the south” titles with 9-0-1 Tulane(who tied with MVC champion Missouri) but after Bama won the Rose bowl Tulane became an afterthought.
He (Wade) went 61-13-3 in 8 seasons at Alabama and won 3 National Titles and 4 CONFERENCE TITLES.
The Southern Conference had 36 teams in it at one point, I imagine that those years were so far different from what they officialy have “become starting in 1933 and on” that they don't see it is comparable and thus just ignore it.
For anyone to deny a 9-0 record in a conference as not a true champion is just pissing in the wind.SILLY.

Except there was no official SoCon champion back then (just like there is no official national champion).

Oh good. Somebody who does an internet search is not going to post as an expert. The internet is not always reliable. The SoCon never had 36 teams, for one.

I am happy with 23 SEC titles and a rich and storied heritage in the Southern Conference predating the SEC. How many SEC titles does your school have?
Posted on 10/31/14 at 9:05 pm to ErnestTBassmaster
We have 8.
A 9th trophy for 84 is still in Gainesville though.

Somethings will never change. Alabama has a strong history of denial - continuously claim this & that, retrospectively. It commences from the top & flows to their fan base. Unfortunately, it remains true today.
They re-write history in their favor. From their media guide:

So UF wins one about every ten years over the past eight decades.

According to articles back in the day there were, it is really irrelevant what the S.C. chooses to recognize, I imagine there was a HUGE RIFT when the 13 teams left to form the SEC, and maybe this was the Southern Conferences way of being petty, there are thousands of articles, old articles that mention these Southern Conference Champions, do some real research.
By the way, to the LSU FAN ABOVE who doesn't understand our credentials for the four National Titles in 1925, 1926, 1930 and 1934.
Combined record 39-0-1
27 Shutouts
Outscored opponents 1133-107.
Won 3 Rose bowls tied 1.
You want to try knocking those stats as fake National Title Stats be my guest.

That's nice and all. Still doesn't change the fact that there was no official SoCon champion in football during those years.

OH GOOD
Go to , the history of the Southern Conference, it stated they had 30 teams and added 6 the next year. THEY HAD A LOT, the point is moot if they had 36 or 26, really doesn't , make a damn bit of difference to the point that they had recognized champs when they played.
