Aside from the bull shite 1941(which no bama fan will argue in favor of), we don’t claim non poll titles after 1936.
About 1941........
In 1941, Alabama lost 14-0 at home to eventual SEC champion Mississippi State and 7-0 at Vanderbilt. Atechson defended the 1941 inclusion for years, arguing the Mississippi State loss came in the rain, the Vanderbilt defeat was close, and that Alabama was the country’s best team by the end of the season thanks to wins over Georgia (8-1-1), Tennessee (8-2) and Texas A&M (9-2). -- CBS Sports
Atcheson should've been fired trying to claim 1941!!

I’m very familiar with it. Aside from the ignorant few, you won’t find Bama fans that defend that one. If they’d toss that one out, I feel like we wouldn’t catch half the shite we do.
Toss that one and we have the 4 Rose Bowl teams(as valid as any other pre poll claims) and the 13 AP/Coaches/BCS/CFP. Which is still more than any other team
