Well first of all, gee, thanks for graciously allowing us to claim an NC in a year we were voted champions by the two major selectors of the time. That's mighty big of you.
Secondly, what I'm hearing you say is Alabama ought to also claim an NC in any year they were voted #1 by at least one selector. Damn, that's a lot of championships! Good thing our fans are such fatasses, because there's no way we are going to fit all those years on anything less than an XXXL.

UGA only claims 2 (1942 & 1980)...they have the right to claim 1920, 1927, 1946, and 1968 in the same manner and fashion Alabama claims several of theirs, if they wish. They don't.
I do.

What was their final record. Did they lose any games If so to whom. What was Arkansas final record. Oh but but but bowl games were only practice games back then.

Pre BCS, the only way to win a National Title was to be named the #1 team in the final AP or UPI/Coaches poll.
It may or may not be fair that the bowls weren’t considered by the 2 major polls in those days, but it was what it was.
Alabama has the only legitimate national title claim for the 1964 season.

I was expecting to learn that Aggy found another mysterious national title to put on the stadium.

Literally every school in the country would claim either of these as Bama took one of the two trophies that mattered. Can you give me a list of unclaimed AP or coaches titles from, say, the 60’s on? You just don’t know what you’re talking about.

I mean, none of this is relevant. All that matters is this: where are the trophies?

I love how everyone says Bama shouldn’t claim the championships before the AP and UPI, including Hog fans. Then, those polls don’t count when they didn’t vote for them.
I do agree Bama shouldn’t claim 1941. That one is ridiculous, but everything else is pretty legit.

The greatest fact about us winning 64 is that it changed voting forever until after the Bowls. Which, ironically, would've had us repeating in 65 had the rules not changed.
Yeah, tFlagship is a game changer.

Will have to check that out some day. Are they all made of cheap Chinese plastic and broken dreams like the Arkansas ‘64 football trophy?

Hence, Alabama has the right to claim 1964. My beef is that Alabama people don't like to "share" the title and try to claim them as their own. Most national titles are SHARED. Also, Alabama claims some national titles that most schools wouldn't touch w/a 100-ft pole if they were in the same position (exception is Tennessee for 1967 -0- sheesh!).
Example: 1941 (finished 9-2), 1973 (lost to Notre Dame in bowl game, ND consensus champ), 1978 (lost to USC)
I don't like that Alabama claims 1941; however, the rule the University has stuck to is AP/UPI poll from 1950 on (no other trophies matter). If the AP or UPI had awarded the trophy to Arkansas, then it would be a shared title.
As for 1973, ND was not "consensus" - they did not win the Coaches' poll that season. Alabama shares that title with them.
1978, split as well.
quote:
the other polls were also highly recognized and whichever team won the CONSENSUS of all the polls was generally looked upon as the one who more rightly could claim the title.
This is not even accurate. Making things up and then declaring them as fact is something a politician does, but holds no bearing in the real world.
Look, my signature is a tongue-in-cheek joke but lacks enough characters to spell it out, but basically it's like this:
If Alabama claimed titles like Alabama claims titles, Alabama would have 32 national titles. Damn Alabama!
In other words, SOMEBODY in 32 different seasons felt Alabama was worthy of a national title.
There are a frick ton of trophies sitting in a closet somewhere in Tuscaloosa declaring Alabama national champs during years they chose not to claim it because of the 1950+ rule. Get over it.
