while other schools do not do it?
The title claims of several schools....
Michigan claims 11 but only 2 are AP/UPI
Tennessee claims 6 but only 2 are AP/UPI
Pittsburgh claims 9 but only 2 are AP/UPI
Ohio State claims 1961, even though Bama won the AP/UPI titles. They won Poling.
Georgia also claims their 1942 Rose Bowl win even though they lost to Auburn and Ohio State won the AP.
USC, in 2004 decided to recognize its 1939 football team as a National Champion, even though TAMU won the AP that year. LINK
USC now recognizes its football teams of 1928, 1931, 1932, 1939 (No AP or UPI). Their 1962, 1967, 1972, 1974, 1978 and 2003 are legit AP/UPI/BCS NC's.

According to Wiki, Georgia actually claims 5 now.
