And out of those 16, how many are legitimate? And not just because bobs backyard BBQ quarterly named you national champions?

Using Bamas "claim" to national championships, Auburn could easily claim 83,93,and 04 as well as 1913.


No you couldn't. With the embarrassing exception of 1941, Alabama only claims AP and Coaches Poll Titles once those polls were established.

The National Champions Foundation recognized Auburn as one of its 1993 national champions you better bet your bottom dollar that would be in Bamas books. The NY Times named Auburn its 1983 national champions.


No, if we counted titles like that we'd add 1966 and a host of others and have the 22 or whatever it is the "NCAA" officially recognizes.

- Alabama has more AP titles than anyone
- Alabama has more Coaches titles than anyone
- Alabama has more BCS titles than anyone
- Alabama has more Playoff titles than anyone

Pick whatever counting method you want.
