The Wildcats led by Paul "Bear" Bryant finished 11-1, won the only outright SEC title in UK history, and upset the #1 defending champ Oklahoma Sooners 13-7 in the Sugar Bowl.
Final polls were taken before bowls, which were exhibitions.
Oklahoma is officially your consensus 1950 national champion, finishing #1 in the major polls. Kentucky finished #7 in both major polls.
Kentucky claims it. Their 2015 media guide:

I would claim it if I were a Kentucky fan.

Lost to Tennessee, so no.
Fun fact:
Robert Neyland was 6-0 vs tBear.

Vols are claiming 1950 as well. Vols beat UK that year per the usual.

Damn right we'll claim it. Damn right losing Bear was a big arse mistake.

That motherfricker probably rolls over in his grave every time Saban goes in dry.

He's probably getting drunk in heaven with tBear as we speak.

11-1 and knocking off the number one team... yeah. Own it, work it, own it, work it.
I would chalk that up for Kentucky.

Bear Bryant was just starting out as a head coach. I'd love to see Neyland face off against Bryant in his prime.
1975 Bryant > 1950 Bryant.

No, you really wouldn't. It would taint tBear's image.
No shame in being 2nd to tGOAT.

I really don't know why we haven't claimed our 1960 national championship.
