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.

What about the number of "championships" that were awarded sometimes many years after the said season was played? the gumps didnt win those, yet each fricking one of them is listed. But I actually like the fact that yall claim so many, it gives me something to laugh at when I see gumpers with 15 on their t-shirts and hats.
