Bama wins undeserved title in 1964 because it lost its bowl game… AP changes in 1965 to awarding its champ after the bowls.--Underserved? those were the rules of the time and Bama won it.
Bama wins undeserved title in 1973 because it lost its bowl game… UPI changes in 1974 to awarding its champ after the bowls.--Undeserved? those were rules of the time and Bama won it.
Then in 1978 Bama shared the title with USC despite the Trojans massacring the Tide at Legion Field.--The voters voted and Bama won it. Just because you don't like the format then doesn't mean anything.
Sure ‘66 and ‘77 Bama teams might have been deserving, but Bama has won 3 titles it really had no business winning
How quickly Aubie forgets in these 'shared titles" that in 1957 Aubie shared the title with Ohio St and Aubie didn't play in a bowl game because of probation. So I just know you're gonna say that was undeserved and Ohio St was the REAL national champ.

You are reaching! Your shared titles are plural. Auburn's is singular.
In 1957 the Tigers compiled a perfect 10–0 record (7–0 in the SEC), shut out six of ten opponents, won the SEC championship, and outscored all opponents by a total of 207 to 28.
Woody Hayes and the northern media..
It was deserved.

Yes. Absolutely. You won a title and then got exposed in your bowl game. Yes, those were the rules so you have every right to claim the title… but those titles are still very much underserved. Arkansas and Notre Dame should have been the outright champs those years.

There’s no problem with shared titles. LSU/USC in 2003. Both were deserving and the split is completely fine. As was 1957 since both were undefeated. No one is saying shared titles is the problem.
