Only problem with your statements....

Alabama, one of only a handful od schools that played in a bowl game to end every NC winning season, won at least 3 in the Rose Bowl for 25,26,30...... there are newspapers that say it as well...... so Alabama has at least 14...

quote:If by "best" thing, you mean "worst" thing, then yes, I agree.
Let me preface this by saying that the BCS, started in 1998, was the best thing that happened to college football.
All the BCS did was usher in the playoffs, which will continue to expand until it devalues the regular season like the NFL.
quote:Remind me again how the top 2 teams got to be the top 2 teams? Oh, that's right, they were put there by the same kind of "mythical" method you just finished railing against. You can't have it both ways.
This is where the term Mythical National Champion comes from.
Therefore, I contend that, prior to the first BCS Title game, if the top 2 teams at the end of the regular season did not face off in a bowl game, then we will never know if the team that was arbitrarily awarded the title that season was really the best team.
Truth is, today's national champion is no less mythical than it's ever been. The only difference is now the powers that be are (and will continue to) diminish the regular season, the thing that made college football the GOAT.

At this rate, Bama might end up with more National Titles than SEC titles.

What about LSU in 03? Didn't play number 1 USC.

One problem, then. When LSU played oklahoma in 2003, Oklahoma indeed was the #1 team, but LSU was rankde #3, so by your rules/Logic LSU cannot claim their 2003 championship. The 2003 game cannot qualify for a championship.

Wrong. The top two teams won their way to this position. They WERE chosen to make the tourney, but the rest was up to the teams themselves.

2007 LSU is not legit
All 128 NCAA FBS members were members of the BCS which named LSU the champion. By definition it's legitimate, regardless of what some fans say. When all 128 members of an organization say "this is our champion", that pretty much settles it. The fact that the system expanded from 2 to 4 teams doesn't make those BCS champions any less relevant than World Series winners back when there were only two teams in the postseason. Adding wild cards...that subsequently won it all...doesn't diminish the accomplishments of those earlier champions.

Tldr but for every questionable title Bama has...they have been screwed out of just as many. I mean damn, at least we have plenty to debate when it comes to so many titles.

quote:1941 is the only one that's really "questionable." You can make a case for not including the four pre-1936 titles, but since the Rose Bowl was the only post-season game at the time, it was considered a championship at that time. Chicken's argument about not counting 1964 is classic trolling.
every questionable title Bama has

1973 disagrees.
