Bama's titles are mostly legit. Even 1973, the year in which they lost to Notre Dame in the Sugar. Bama was awarded the AP title that year.

Auburn has no claim on 2004. That one still belongs to USC because they retained the AP title.

The polls are no doubt flawed (for instance, 1983 Auburn has a great argument for that). However, between 1936 and 1997, the two poll system is the most historically consistent criterion we can use.

Between 1997 and 2013 it is the BCS, and from here on out it is the playoff.

The really difficult era is the pre-poll era. That's why I love this site LINK / this guy really knows his stuff.
