I would say claim 66. Only undefeated, untied team in the nation.
We can't claim a title that wasn't awarded. That's the basis for the whole system. Regardless of what looks right or what should have happened, in college football you are awarded national championships by polls. If no highly reputable poll voted Alabama #1 in 1966, then we didn't win it. This is the point that most auburn fans seem to struggle to grasp.

Exactly. Auburn fans and other haters mocked and tore apart actual AP titles awarded to Alabama that no other school in America catches grief for. Yet they are now seriously considering claiming titles not awarded by either AP or UPI. The hypocrisy is truly staggering.

That didn't stop y'all from claiming 1925, 26, and 30.
