During that time didnt Alabama frequently schedule OOC games against the weaker SEC teams?
Alabama played two regular season non-conference games against SEC teams. Ole Miss in 81 and Ole Miss in 82 (or maybe it was 80).

Claiming division co-championships in the conference title game era...

Not as bad as claiming a win over North Carolina as an SEC in-conference win imho

Well they got a trophy from the league for it (just like Florida last year, Georgia in 07, Florida and Tennessee in 03, etc).

Maybe retarded, but absolutely happened. Ole Miss was assigned Arkansas as a conference game a number of years. Didn't mean Arkansas was in the SEC at the time, just that they counted as a conference game for Ole Miss.

Football was not the big business it is now. They did what they had to to equal the schedule. This practice has happened recently in some of the smaller conference, though. They do what they can.
Right or wrong, it's fact. That's how they did it.

All of this nonsense, instead of just playing a school ACTUALLY IN the conference?
I don't even...

Craziest SEC title ever was in 1959. Ole Miss finishes #2 in the entire country, with LSU finishing right behind at #3.
GEORGIA wins the SEC title.
GEORGIA wins the SEC title.

Georgia finished #5. They went undefeated in conference play while both LSU and Ole Miss had a loss.

Alabama does get credit for the SEC championship for those years.

this is irrelevant to you, Florida football started in the 90s
