I'm not arguing that more than two teams could win the title. I'm arguing that one guy holed up in his office in 1945 awarding a #1 ranking to a team in 1934 is not legitimate.

The AP is comprised of numerous voters that are currently recognized as legitimate based on their experience as a sports journalist. The timing of the final ranking is immediately following the final football game of the year and is accepted by all FBS conferences and teams.

Bottom line: retroactively awarded championships should not count

Just curious - why is it so important for Alabama fans to bring in the past, and in particular the far away past. Is this supposed to tell us that we are not in the same "class" as them?

This is the same crap I get when talking with ND fans. What a person is saying when they bring up their 'achievements' long ago is really like saying that they are up here and you are down here, and there is nothing you can do to change that. There is a word for it -- INSECURITY.

I guess we can bring in the, ah, "storied" past of Army, Princeton, and all of the great teams of the first half of the century.
