re: There have been 22 SEC national titles in football in the poll era (1936)

It matters to those who desire uniformity. Anything prior to 1936 is a mess because there are so many systems, both from the period and from modern times, awarding multiple teams in a given year their national championship. Houlgate and Dickinson were just two of many.

And so, since those that desire "uniformity", feel that it should take precedence over history, they just declare what that uniformity should be and put down people who view it factually. You don't see how dumb that is? Who are you to declare what should count and what shouldn't?

Too bad history is subject to lots and lots of interpretation. The people of the period didn't have the gift of hindsight. We know better now though.

This from the guy who was scoffing retroactive titles in this thread. I see, retroactive titles are bad, but putting some screwball's retractive standard to history is somehow "hindsight". Sorry, your opinion does not trump history.
