I think Bama should disown either 1964 or 1973, but not both.

Plenty of other teams claim an NC when they lost their bowl game, but Bama is the only school to claim two such national championships.

So pick your favorite one, and disown the other.

Can we have the 66 for a consolation prize?

If Alabama had won the AP 15 times in seasons that they lost the bowl game, they should claim all 15.

If Alabama went undefeated behind a team that lost their bowl game in 15 different seasons, they should claim NONE of them.

You win the title based on the rules of the time. The fact that the rules were later changed doesn't change who won it at the time.

No they aren't.
