pre-1936 : none
1936 - 1997 : AP Title
1998 - 2013 : BCS Title
2014 - present : CFP title


Alabama - 9 (1961, 1964, 1965, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012)
Florida - 3 (1996, 2006, 2008)
LSU - 3 (1958, 2003, 2007)
Auburn - 2 (1957, 2010)
Tennessee - 2 (1951, 1998)
Georgia - 1 (1980)
Texas A&M - 1 (1939)

Since everyone always whines about how Alabama only has 4 or so I figure this is a method everyone can agree on, right?

Should probably only go with a year where a team gets awarded the majority of the national titles so they don't get credit for one when they were obviously not the best team that year.

Yes, with one amendment:

AP titles until BCS Era
BCS Champions until Playoff Era
"Playoff" Champions

AP is a vote so it is flawed since it is opinion, especially when they voted before all games were played.

I think any undefeated season should be recognized as a perfect season.

If a team was perfect, they earned something. When a team has to rely on voters to gain recognition, it is something less than perfection.

I hereby claim all undefeated seasons as championships.

So since 1992 in the SEC, Auburn has 3 championship seasons (1993,2004,2010), Bama has 2 (1992, 2009), Tennessee 1 (1998).

I was always under the impression from discussions with other fanbases that only AP/BCS/CFP titles mattered. At least that is what I always heard in relation to Alabama.

And I clearly wrote "YES LSU YOU CAN CLAIM 2003" before we changed it to AP/BCS/CFP.

Then of course there's 2011. The infamous 7 BCS Human Poll Voters who actually DROPPED Okla State to 5th or 6th AFTER they destroyed former #1 Oklahoma to win the Big 12 Title, thus ensuring the 3rd place SEC team would laughingly be placed in the MediaMulliganReplayDoOverBowl......
