Has tRant come to a conclusion on 1964? I feel like either Alabama or Arkansas needs to be crowned and the other stop claiming it all together.

UT has 2 football NCs - '51 & '98. Round here count wire service (AP, UP/Coaches) NCs from the beginning of the AP in 1935, otherwise you have programs like Bama who have been selected by someone in 30+ years (many of the non wire service ones are a joke), OU could claim far more than 7, UTx more than 4, OM could claim 3, etc. That's why Bama has only 17, 13 since 1935. 1941 is a fraud, don't know why the UofA continues to claim it.

OM, Ark and UK have zero, UGA has one, the others are legit wire service NCs. Prior to 1935 is more nebulous.

For those interested, Alabama has 2 undefeated, untied seasons (10-0, 11-0) where they beat USC in the Rose Bowl (1945 season) and Neb in the Sugar (1966) but they do not claim a NC even though there was a selector(s) who chose them but not a wire service (winners were Army in '45 and ND in '66). In 66 Bama was 2 time defending NC.

Well if everybody in this thread is just gonna keep throwing around more claimed titles, LSU should have 5 National Championships in football. 1908 should be the 5th. NCAA recognizes it, and it still pisses me off LSU doesn’t claim it for some weird reason.

So 3/4 of SEC schools lay claim to at least one NC. And the Big 10 think they’re hot stuff.

All 16 schools have at least one NC in the Big 3 sports. Florida & LSU* are the only two schools to have at least one NC in each sport


UF is the ONLY school to win a NC in the Big 3 in the past, almost 60 years.

We were a damn pop fly away from joining Florida as only SEC school to win NC in Football, basketball and baseball.

I think Dave will get one before he retires
