They beat the (already named national champion) OU Sooners in the Sugar Bowl. They were coached by Bryant. They lost in the regular season to Tennessee
They claim it 66 years later.
Atleast ATM already had a legit one from 1939 so nobody noticed their additions. But to go from 0 to 1?
Remind us to dust off our 1960 trophy...

You didn't win 1960. That was split between Ole Miss and Minnesota. Check the NCAA website for yourself.
People can scream it's a joke title claim all they want but the NCAA recognizes it just like they recognize LSU and USC's in 2003.

Then that'll be 7 for Coach Bryant I believe.

Minnesota lost their bowl, just like OU. We won ours
National champs!

It sucks the loss to Kansas was overturned late after the result. Missouri was #1 before the loss. Since they got the win back, it was too late unfortunately.
Missouri should have been national champions for 1960. Instead, an 8-1 Minnesota won it before losing the Rose Bowl. 10-0-1 Ole Miss was left out, and rightfully so for certain reasons.
Only reason why UK won 1950 SEC over Tennessee is because of more SEC games played. Both UT and UK had one conference loss. Tennessee has more of a claim than Kentucky.

11-0 > 10-0-1
We won the Orange Bowl.

NCAA has no say in picking the national champion. They just list every selector that year and its champion. Ole Miss has no piece of the national title despite the FWAA honor. But the FWAA doesn't hold same weight as AP and UPI.

The fact that some SEC teams played more conference games than others shows how frickin old this all is
Also, black players weren't allowed in 1950
Those players lived their most of their lives not even knowing they were national champions...

That's an opinion. The NCAA believes the FWAA holds enough weight to recognize it so I'd say it's a legit title claim. If you say USC's claim in 2003 is legit, you have to recognize the FWAA from 1960. The AP didn't hold near as much weight as the BCS did but people still recognize it.

Not the worst claim I've seen.

Its a solid claim. Its just so long ago and OU didn't even think the Sugar bowl was important. OU was already claimed champs so they look at the Sugar as no more than exhibition.
But Mizzou was the only unbeaten and untied team in 1960

Texas A&M went from 1 to 3 championships overnight. Every player and coach on their two fake national championship teams were deceased by the time they claimed it from a poll that came out 70 years after those two seasons.
Both claims are ridiculous.

Alabama will soon claim 1950 also because of Bryant.
