re: This year marks the 80th anniversary of the most controversial title claim in CFB history

I don't think 1941 or any other national championship should have been claimed. We should have just stuck with 10 claimed national championships and have been done with it. No one would have faulted us for claiming the Rose Bowl wins as national championship seasons to go along with Bear's six Poll Era titles

Yup

AP/Coaches poll titles from the poll era - Rose Bowl undefeated seasons from the pre-poll era. Totally reasonable. 1941 throws all of that in the trash.
