You wanna expound on that a little?
Let me rephrase.
Politics had a lot to do with teams other than Bama being awarded titles in 25, 26, and 34.

You're throwing stones as a USC "fan." Y'all started claiming 1939 during the Carroll years.

It's pretty wild that Bama is the only program where you can take a few titles away and they'll still have more than any other team.

Early on, I added them with the explanation that all 8 were claimed in the same manner as Bama claimed them. If they can claim them, so can "I".
Except Bama has like 4 or 5 years that they don't claim. 1945, 1966, 1975, 1977. Of course you already knew that.

I will visit this thread every now and again to see if my favorite, overly emotional, liar of a bama poster will chime in.
Won’t be long.

I guess since we are on the topic of erroneously claiming stuff, I thought I'd bring my expertise as an Aggie. We've been doing this for decades!
Flat out, AP should be the only answer... but if 2 or more other publications give it to you, are you supposed to turn it down? I guess in Bama's situation in wouldn't matter much with the plethora since that time.
The only us Ags can really claim is 1939 (Insert the "it's been 84 years Titanic Gif Here).
But it would have been cool to have actually gotten the nod in 1917 and 1919. Not only did the Aggies go undefeated, they went unscored upon. 270-0 and 275-0 respectively. I believe Georgia Tech got the 1917 crown (with their 222-0 game mixed in) and Harvard got the 1919 crown.

If you look at the AP archive for 1960, Ole Miss' denial of an AP title in 1960 is almost as bad.
Agree.

I think it’s only fair that we are recognized as the 1941 national champs

Let it go. They claim what they want. It was 100 years ago

You're right on the 1941 Claim.
I've never heard any Bama fan bragging on that one...and I'm too lazy to scratch it off my Coca-Cola Collector's Bottle
The rest you can

Take them all away. In fact take 5 more. They still have double over Ga.

When the dust settles and it will, BAMA will historically be the King of college football. The gold standard, the Mecca of college football. It's not easy being number one more often than any other program but someone has to do it. It's the burden we bear.

If it was won by votes instead of on the field it's bs

1941 is the crazy one. It’s just silly.
Yeah, it's unfortunate- if we were going to go out on a limb, I'd pick 1966.
That being said, I don't understand why Tennessee doesn't catch even more hell for claiming 1967.
