Tennessee claiming 1967 is identical to Alabama claiming the 1941 title
It's actually worse than Alabama's 1941 title claim. At least in 1941 the AP was rather young and lacked the clout they enjoy today. By 1967, however, the AP had been around for over 30 years and the Coaches Poll started awarding national championships 17 years prior. Just about every program recognized those two selectors as the "must-haves" when it came to claiming a legitimate national championship. This is why Tennessee's claim to 1967 is so much more egregious than Alabama's claim to 1941. Both are piss poor claims, but Tennessee's is worse.
