Found this on a message board. Virtually all of it checked out. I know you've heard this before but the data provided here is pretty interesting. Here's what the writer had to say:

'TWELVE' national championships is fraudulent, nothing but pure bunk ginned up by the SID Department. Here's a rundown:

1925 National Championship – Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn't exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.

The Associated Press Poll has been active since 1936. The AP took their final poll prior to bowl games from 1936 until 1964 and in 1966 and 1967. They took their final poll after the bowl games in 1965 and from 1968. Current.

1926 National Championship – Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it!

1930 National Championship – The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933!

1934 National Championship – Alabama says they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel, Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who came up with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with his own system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946!

1941 National Championship – This is a complete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teams with better records in the top 20. Once again it is the Football Thesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SEC that year. Mississippi State won the SEC title.., yet Bama claims a National title!

1961 National Championship – Finally a legitimate NC.

1964 National Championship – While the AP did award the NC to Bama (10-1-0), Arkansas had the better record, 11-0. Alabama played Texas in their bowl and LOST. The AP final poll was before the bowl.

1965 National Championship – The AP gave this to Bama. That year there were three teams with better records than Bama. Bama 9-1-1, Michigan St 10-1-0, Arkansas 10-1-0, Nebraska 10-1-0.

1973 National Championship – AP puts Bama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama claims a NC from the UPI poll that was taken before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and lost. There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. The embarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to name champions after bowl games. Yet Bammer has no shame in claiming it of course.

1978 National Championship – AP gives this to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC (12-1-0) had the better record Guess who Alabama lost to that year? USC! UPI gave the NC to USC.

1979 National Championship – Their second legitimate NC. Their first Unanimous NC.

1992 National Championship – Their third legitimate NC. Their second Unanimous NC.

2009 National Championship – while on probation. Their third unanimous NC.

2011 National Championship – Did not play in SECCG, 3rd in conference. 1st time in history of CFB. Sparked a change in BCS to introduce a playoff.

Do you think this hasn't been posted before? Hell, this was written in the early 2000s and they just updated it. You should be banned.

Just think about how Germans this post that was stolen from ITAT is...

It's been almost 6 years since we were claiming "12" National championships.

Melt day 1087.
