Team A: Undefeated season and wins bowl game.

Team B: Undefeated season and loses bowl game to Texas.

*Team A beat Texas during the regular season.

Who should claim it?

You forgot to include the fact that Joe Namath crossed the goal line and scored the game-winning TD but Alabama was cheated out of the win by the corrupt Texas refs. Also, if you compare the box scores of the two games Alabama played Texas far tougher than Arkansas did. Alabama outgained Texas in total yardage (347-314) and first downs (18-15). Compare that to Arkansas who was outgained in yardage by Texas (263-136) and first downs (18-9). Going by those numbers, I'm pretty confident that Alabama would have beaten Arkansas on a neutral field that year.
