If you look at those early claims objectively and look at how the 1925, 1926, and 1930 Alabama teams and how they absolutely dominated their opponents I don't see how you can say those are ridiculous claims while simultaneously making the claim that 1925 Dartmouth, 1926 Stanford, and 1930 Notre Dame were clearly better. That's not to say those other teams didn't have legitimate claims too but to argue one claim is clearly better than the other is disingenuous.
Okay. Now do 1983 which was the point of this entire thread. Bama claimed titles it was never awarded. Auburn didn’t. That’s where we stand.

I personally think Auburn got screwed ouy of a national title in 1983 so I'm not sure why you're so bent out of shape.
I only brought up Alabama's 1977 season because it was a very similar scenario to Auburn's 1983 season.
As for Alabama's so called illegitimate claims in 1964 and 1978. They were awarded the AP national championship trophy both years and no one outside of Arkansas fans (1964), USC fans (1978), and Auburn fans even questions either in the slightest.
Alabama does make one ridiculous title claim (1941) but doesn't claim either 1945, 1966, or 1977 which blows away the myth that they claim each and every single title that they could claim
