We can argue about NC claims all day, but I can't really think of any other schools (besides Bama's bogus '41 claim) who claim an NC in the poll era (post 1936) who didn't when one of the two major polls (AP or UPI).
Actually, you'd be surprised... somebody's already mentioned the Ohio State one. Tennessee claims several past 1936 that aren't AP or UPI... Georgia claims one... SMU claims a few...
ETA: Kentucky (1) and Ole Miss (3).

Interesting, I learned something new today. For the sake of full disclosure, not sure if it was clear but I'm a Bama fan. I don't really have a problem with any of our claims, except for '41. For the pre-poll era there really is no right or wrong answer for any given year, so I'm ok with claiming all those Rose Bowl Champion teams which were on the top of one poll or another. But I always assumed there weren’t many claims in the poll era which weren’t UPI or AP. Like I said- interesting.
