well there is a big difference between the two, Ill let you be the judge
The only difference is '41 Alabama didn't win their conference. They still went to a major bowl (the Cotton Bowl) and won it. While you'd think on the surface that a conference championship is a big deal, 2011 Alabama proves this is not the case.

because not a single one of the teams you mentioned above (1941 Alabama included) finished #1 in a major poll.
I wouldn't do it if I were making the call, but I don't really care one way or the other.

I'm glad LSU is above this bs.
Y'all should claim 1908. The NCAA says it's good.

Which is why I am fine with Auburn wanting to add 1910, 1913, and 1914. Those make plenty of sense in the grand scheme of things. But to include 1958, 1983, 1993, and 2004 just because Alabama claims ONE non-legit title in the poll era is simply asinine.

Here's the problem though. As bad as the 41 claim is for Alabama, they still got a selection. Y'all didn't get a single one in 1910, 14, 58, or 2004.
Starts on page 74.

The Rose was the only bowl game until 1934.

Here, AU is simply deciding whether to "officially" claim championships that have already been awarded to them the same way other program, including Bama, have.

If that's the case then Alabama can go ahead and claim 1937, 1966, 1975, 1977, 1991, and 1994 to the list of championships they could claim. Alabama could claim as many as 27 but only claims 15.

If so, I suppose they could. I suspect you are just saying that because another poster said so and you don't really know.

How many schools claim the New York Times as their soul reason for awarding themselves a national championship? How many legit selectors awarded Auburn the national championship in 1993 and 2004?
If these were legitimate national selectors, Auburn would have awarded themselves these championships years ago. The same goes for Alabama with the years I listed above.

They got 1 selection in 93 (National Championship Foundation). They got none in 04.
