Well UPI named them as the national champion, cannot blame them for that. Blame UPI if someone needs to be blamed. Then again, Coach Bryant could have taken the easier road and played in the Orange Bowl, but instead chose to take on #3 Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
They lost to the other co-champion.
Any reasonable person knows who the real champion was in 1973. It was Notre Dame.
Same with 1978. USC was the real champion.

Unsure why people get upset if a school claims championships or not. It is just fill, does not really make a whole lot of difference in the world. I mean, really at the end of the day in 2016, does it really matter who won the NCAA football championship in 1973?
The game does provide good memories for fans on both sides, which is all it should do anyway, right? It is entertainment, nothing more, nothing less.
