They beat the (already named national champion) OU Sooners in the Sugar Bowl. They were coached by Bryant. They lost in the regular season to Tennessee
They claim it 66 years later.
Atleast ATM already had a legit one from 1939 so nobody noticed their additions. But to go from 0 to 1?
Remind us to dust off our 1960 trophy...

You didn't win 1960. That was split between Ole Miss and Minnesota. Check the NCAA website for yourself.
People can scream it's a joke title claim all they want but the NCAA recognizes it just like they recognize LSU and USC's in 2003.

Then that'll be 7 for Coach Bryant I believe.

It sucks the loss to Kansas was overturned late after the result. Missouri was #1 before the loss. Since they got the win back, it was too late unfortunately.
Missouri should have been national champions for 1960. Instead, an 8-1 Minnesota won it before losing the Rose Bowl. 10-0-1 Ole Miss was left out, and rightfully so for certain reasons.
Only reason why UK won 1950 SEC over Tennessee is because of more SEC games played. Both UT and UK had one conference loss. Tennessee has more of a claim than Kentucky.

Not the worst claim I've seen.

Big 7.

Texas A&M went from 1 to 3 championships overnight. Every player and coach on their two fake national championship teams were deceased by the time they claimed it from a poll that came out 70 years after those two seasons.
Both claims are ridiculous.

VOLS claim 1950 as well.

Alabama will soon claim 1950 also because of Bryant.

They've been claiming it for decades. This isn't new.

Nothing for MSU and USCjr.

I'd give them the nod on that one.

1963

They could've at least been subtle about the fake trophy and not made it look like the actual Coaches trophy. Jeez.

sweet. If Kentucky gets this one it legitimizes my claim on 1909, 1964, 1965 and 1977 for Arkansas.
Still waiting on the NCAA to do their job for the 2010 title.

They should name an award after Bear. Coach of the year maybe?
Posted on 7/26/16 at 8:37 pm to MizzouTrue
What's the big deal? This isn't the first SEC team to do this.

OU had won 32 straight going into the game so anybody saying they didn't care about the bowl is nuts.
Tennessee lost to 4-6 Southern Miss and were 10-1, having beaten Texas in the Cotton Bowl, 20-14. UK was also 10-1, beating OU 13-7 in the Sugar Bowl. Both games were played on Jan. 1, 1951.
Advantage, UK.
