re: Spin-off thread on how many NC Bama actually has..

There was no official way to determine the NC back then.
The AP voted before the bowl games in 1964. AL # 1 and AR # 2.
AL went on to lose their bowl game to Texas
AR went on to win their bowl game against Nebraska.

Now, look at that objectively, and then look at what happened last year. LSU was # 1 before the bowl games and AL was # 2. AL beat LSU and won the national championship.

So, same scenario of 1964 applied to 2012 and LSU is your national champion.

You need to get over it. Different rules for different times. Bama won the AP and UPI for 1964 because they were voted national champions before the bowls. That was the rules.

Last year was totally different. The football AD's and presidents had all got together and made the rules for how the BCS determined the champion. The two best teams were determined by the rules and played in the BCS bowl. The winner of the bowl game, Alabama, was declared the national champion, by the rules.

So 1964 scenario and 2011 scenario are totally different. The rules were different.

Just get over it man. You can't change history. Alabama won the AP and the UPI; Arkansas won the FWAA.
