We’ve certainly retired the SEC title as being anything of importance

I mean. If you go back far enough, the game was practically a different sport. Hell, go look at the rules for that 1869 Princeton/Rutgers game. A bit of a stretch to call that “football.”
So, to answer, yeah, I used a semi-arbitrary cut-off date. 1950 was the first year of the Coaches’ Poll.

1950 is a decent starting point when talking about claimed national championships because that is the year the Coaches Poll started.
