re: So does Bama claim 1964 National Championship?

The problem is the goal posts are always moving with this argument. Want to exclude anything prior to the poll era? Fine. But anything between 1936-1991 has to be a major poll correct? The bowl coalition and bowl alliance between 1991-1997. The BCS from 1998-2013. The CFP from 2014-present.

This is how I see it.

There are a bunch of bogus Championships out there that simply aren't legit.

Alabama's 1941 claim is probably the most egregious. They finished 9-2 and #20 in the AP.

Tennessee counts about 4 titles that are completely bogus.

Of course Ole Miss's claim of 3 titles is a complete joke. They have zero.

And as unfortunate as it is, Arkansas' 1964 title is not legit. No one outside of Fayetteville recognizes it.
