If only everyone went by consensus national titles. All of these were awarded at the time with actual hardware that's still around. No retroactive bs.

I really don't understand the need for Alabama to claim all the prior ones. Isn't 9 plenty? We're still ahead of everyone else.

Meh, GOT 14?!

The one 'good'(?) thing about the current process is what the clubs and guys play for. The AP is still a major selector but no one plays for this. We're at a point where everyone (who is actually in contention) wants to win 'The Crystal'. The AFCA trophy is a constant back to 1950 now, and this is the goal, not AP nor FWAA, etc. I think in time this will be considered 'The NC' and the others will slowly recede, much like the old NFL then AFL champions. The Super Bowl is pretty much the only thing discussed now. As another poster had pointed out, whether one agrees with the process or not, it's the only one signed on to by everyone, through representation. Of course, for LSU this means we are down to two.


But I'm riding this 21st century deal like a rented mule.
