Your 50 claim is exactly the same as Alabama's 41. Just Saiyan.

Tennessee has just as solid a claim as OU
"Tennessee was voted national champions by a preponderance of selectors, with 18 to Oklahoma's 11.[1]"

Okay.

LSU could say the same thing.

Better in almost every category.
Okay, but not all, and not by much in most. That was my entire point.

I consider LSU a Blueblood as well.
You are one of the few. Practically no one outside of the SEC.

Also, LSU did not win the SEC in 84.
Florida did, and then had to vacate the title. Therefore LSU represented the SEC in the Sugar as the next best team. LSU also tied UF in '84 in Gainesville, 21 all.

Your own website doesn't claim it.
You don't have to link it, I know they don't. They also don't acknowledge a title for 1908, even though the NCAA does.

Y'all weren't #1 in the AP or Coaches (just like 41 Bama). Y'all didn't even win the SEC (just like 41 Bama).
And you definitely miscounted on the selectors (see page 77 of the records book).

You'd have a point except for the fact that it says 84 was vacated in the SEC media guide.

Also, I understand that UF still has the trophy, is that right?
Still hard not to acknowledge the best ETA: non-cheating team in the SEC as champions.
frickallayall, I'm claiming it.

What's fricked up is we got hit with the bowl ban and the SEC office still said we could be champs only to take it away later (yet Auburn got to keep their 57 title).

National Championship selectors 1950
Tennessee beat Kentucky, the team OU lost to in their bowl.
Tennessee 1950 National Champs. As legit as it gets

That's cool, but I've literally never seen anything, anywhere that has LSU as 84 SEC champs

Then you can't say anything to Bama about their 41 claim. Can't have it both ways.

And I see you're getting your info from the CFDW about supposed selections in 50. Well guess what? That very same site has LSU ranked ahead of UT all-time. Guess you didn't think that one through.

Dude, I don't care what a made up points system says we're ranked at. The numbers speak for themselves.
Tennessee was the only top 5 team to win their bowl game and was named by multiple selectors as National Champions. The system was flawed. It is what it is

Not that I care about 1941 Bama, but they lost 2 games and were only chosen by 1 selector. Minnesota had 34 selectors
1950 Tennessee was 11-1 to OUs 10-1 and was chosen by multiple selectors.
Really not comparable to 41 bama

Guess this eliminates Georgia.
My comment was tongue in cheek about the idiocy of the thread.
But since you wanted to play, the University of Georgia claims two national titles, one in 1942 and one in 1980. Yes, I'm aware that number pales in comparison of the number Alabama claims, but there it is.

Sure it is. Neither was #1 in the AP or Coaches. Neither won the SEC. Both won the Cotton.
And if OU can't claim it because they lost their bowl then there goes your 51 claim for losing the bowl (on top of the ridiculous 40 and 67 claims).

Like I said before the system was flawed, but Tennessee has a very legitimate claim to 1950 based on several different factors.
And Tennessee beat the SEC champs(Kentucky) we just played one less game in conference play that year for some reason. UK was 5-1 UT was 4-1
Bama finished 3rd in the SEC in 41. Not comparable

I didn't say OU can't claim it. They have a legitimate claim as well

Do you get something for finishing #2 instead of #3?
