Newspapers across the country declared the winner of the game to be a 'champion'
And if by "the game" you mean The Rose Bowl, you are wrong.
That is Bama revisionism right there. The Rose Bowl didn't always even feature the best team from the Pacific Coast Conference. It was certainly not a championship game by any stretch of the imagination.

How can I be wrong? I've seen the papers. Specifically, they called the winner the 'gridiron' champion
Oh, and if I remember correctly, every team that went undefeated and won the Rose Bowl pre-AP era claims a title for that year. Not just Alabama, so
