1964 is pretty cut and dry:
1. Arkansas was the most deserving of the National Title that year, without a doubt.
2. Alabama IS the true national champion despite not being deserving of it. They have both the AP and the UPI trophies in their case. Of course they will claim that.
It sucks for Hogs fans, but the facts remain they did not win the National Title in 1964. They were the unfortunate beneficiaries of a failed system that the AP corrected the very next year in response to the travesty. Unfortunately for the UPI, it would take them rewarding Bama with another undeserved title in the early 1970s before they finally corrected their system of naming the champion.
