So, as I see it, 9 (poll) + 4 (historic) - 1941 = 13.
The historic titles are total and complete BS.
I really don't know why Bama feels the need to claim them. Bama has 9 legit titles (although the 73 title is complete BS too. The AP changed the way they did things, because of Bama in 64 and the UPI was 10 years behind, which is totally inexcusable.)
You would think that having 9 somewhat legit titles would be enough for Bama, but for some really deep insecure reason Bama fans feel the need to claim 14. I really don't understand the need either, since Bama has the richest and most successful history of any program.

Which is why nobody else should give a frick how many we claim. Our number of National Championships >>>>> Your number of National Championships. That's all anyone needs to know.

Because ND, USC, and Michigan claim their historic titles

Hard for some folks to understand, but there is a contingent of Alabama fans that are very insecure. Lots of reasons for it, but it is interesting.

Looks like the rest of the college football world has a hard time keeping up with Bama.
Bama plays and wins the NC in 1964 according to the rules, and because the rest of the teams are pissed, they changed the AP rules after that year. (It was funny that after they changed the rules for 1965, Bama won that AP NC for '65 too, because they waited until after the bowl games.)
Then the UPI changed the rules after the 1973 season; but Bama still won several UPI NC's in later years.
Now the BCS is changing because other conferences can't keep up with the SEC, including Bama. We're still playing by the rules and will continue to do so and win.
