How do you get "closer to 7 or 8"?
There are 10 legit titles since 1936 when the AP poll started. Either AP, coaches, or the BCS. Plus the 4 pre-36/rose bowls. You could argue the early ones, nothing to argue about the other 10. We won them under the system that was in place at the time.

UT has six collegiate football national championships that have been widely recognized: 1938, 1940, 1950, 1951, 1967 and 1998
Additionally, it has another eight collegiate national titles that were awarded through various entities that it does not recognize: 1914, 1927, 1928, 1931, 1939, 1956, 1985 and 1989.
Why 1939 isn't recognized, I don't know. 10 wins, zero losses, zero points given up.
