I don't actually have a problem with people claiming them. I wouldn't ever do it though (personally), because I think it devalues the 8 titles that UK has actually won. But to each fanbase it's own, really.
I don't see harm in claiming a Helms...It's the gold standard pre-tourney title...It is what it is...

The HAF didn't exist until 1936 though, yet you have schools like Kansas and UNC claiming "titles" from the 20s.

Lsu played in a game where the winner was declared the national champion in 1935. If anyone had a problem they could have said so in 1935, but no one did.
