1945 Alabama should claim instead of 1941
1945 went 10-0 (6-0 in conference) and won the Rose Bowl over USC
The 1945 team also had the greatest Alabama player of all time on it. Harry Gilmer
They also should claim 1966. They were back to back defending National champions going for a 3 peat. And somehow ND and Mich St who tied each other got voted ahead of them. That would never ever happen today

I have no proof to back it up, but I think Bama chose to claim '41 and '73 while pointedly not claiming '66 and '77 to make a point. I don't think it was a very good point, but I think that's why they chose to do it.
