But you guys claim it
We don't don't claim 39, and we should. Undefeated, untied, and unscored upon in the regular season. Bowl games didn't decide NCs back then.

I agree that we should drop 67 and claim 39.

I mean, what poll were y'all #1 in that year?
I mean, LSU should have been the AP national champion in 1936, if you just go by results. Only team in the regular season that didn't take a loss. Minnesota was voted #1, though, despite a 7-1 regular season. We obviously shouldn't claim that title, still.
Obviously, back then, teams in the south weren't given any credit, especially against northern teams from the Big Ten. Also, we didn't play any black guys, so maybe the voting was justified.
