Yes, 2 more appeared on their stadium the year they moved to the SEC. They added a conference championship, too, for a year when they didn't even make the conference championship game.

I think we can all agree that Notre Dame, the Big 10, and the Rose Bowl have held back changes that would result in us having a more clear national champion.

OU could claim as many as Bama we were named national champions atleast 6-7 more times but we only claim consensus titles not UPI or any other service not named ap and coaches poll together . BCS is obvious you win you win some schools usc auburn have claimed titles without actually playing for one .

UPI was the Coaches Poll, I believe.

Pre-BCS, split titles were unfortunately too common. I'm also not a fan of retroactively claimed titles. If Georgia tried to claim 1946, I'd take issue with it.

The UPI poll *IS* the Coaches' poll.

quote:

It was initially published by United Press – known from 1958 as United Press International (UPI) – from 1950 through 1990, followed by USA Today/CNN from 1991 thru 1996, USA Today/ESPN from 1997 to 2004, and USA Today from 2005 to the present.


The thread limited itself to the same titles that OU claims; Alabama has simply won more of them (AP/UPI (Coaches)/BCS/Playoff) than OU.

You can claim anything you want. You can claim you are a dinosaur. That doesn’t mean you are a dinosaur.

The NCAA recognizes 16 national titles for Alabama. The NCAA recognizes 7 national titles for Oklahoma. Five of those came 50 years or more ago.

I love how all I have to do is post facts about Ole Miss’ football program and Ole Miss fans think I’m trolling them. Hilarious.
