You mean the Sugar Bowl trophy?

The one where the co-champions met on the field and the champion won?

I agree.

Congrats to Notre Dame on the 1973 championship.

Y'all claim 1940, 1951, and 1967 despite losing your bowl (s) (and 40 and 67 weren't AP or UPI). You suck at this.

Bless your little hearts, quite a few teams did not play bowl games until the 1970s especially Notre Dame. Bowl games were regarded as exhibitions.

Little trolls on an obscure chat board can say whatever snarky thing comes to teenage mind but there are truths in the world. Two of them are:

1. Alabama was UPI National Champion for 1972;

2.Tennesse and LSU were not anything important that year except as another easy W for Alabama.

Come to think of it, that was the sole purpose of those teams the entire decade. Dam, it's still true today..and they say history doesn't repeat itself LOL

Why should Alabama not claim the 1973 national championship when one of the two major polls voted them national champions in 1973?

I have never understood the argument to the contrary.
