This era of everyone gets a (national championship) trophy is sickening. Alabama started the chit with their inane claims to pseudo championships.

Actually in all fairness to the Bama folks I believe they were reactionary to Notre Dame's retro claims

1950. #1 in Jeff Sagarin's formula that didn't exist until 1978. They made a fake crystal football trophy but got rid of it for obvious reasons.
I have never been able to find a list of Sagarin national championships. Can anyone link to it?
I don't trust some "List of cfb national championships" that includes Sagarin. I've seen at least one university website that claims a Sagarin title but with no other reference other than themselves claiming it.

Auburn, Florida, and LSU are the good ones, only claiming AP/Coaches.

Check in if your conference name counts schools that bolted for other conferences.

Alabama retroactively claimed 5 in the 80s.
Georgia retroactively claimed 1 in the 80s.
Kentucky retroactively claimed 1 in the 80s.

1930. Notre Dame and Alabama were unbeaten monsters. The majority of humans and numbers side with Notre Dame’s brutal schedule over Alabama’s greater dominance, with SRS considering these Irish an all-time great.Bama’s claim is sound.
1934: Minnesota has most of the contemporary and retroactive selectors and had the year’s best win (at Pitt), though Alabama played two more games after the Gophers were done, including a win over previously unbeaten Stanford, and beat a couple teams better than any of the non-Pitt stuff on Minnesota’s schedule. Both claims are valid.
1941 is a bullshite claim on Alabama's part, but the '66 robbery of an undefeated Alabama team who was undefeated the year before, too, evens things out, so.....

Kentucky most likely would have been national champions in 1950 if the AP and Coaches awarded their championships after the post-season in those days. They defeated the national champion Oklahoma Sooners in the Sugar Bowl. Granted, Oklahoma might not have been playing their best because the season was over and the championship was all wrapped up, but Kentucky still got the W.

Almost as bad as giving a new coach a fake national championship trophy with an open date on its placard.

This board, over the last couple of weeks, is pretty much nothing but sips and coonasses trolling aggy. It's moved beyond mere obsession. These people need help
Apparently the trolls don't need help with material.. aggy is obsessed with providing that.

Making fun of aggy is like shooting fish in a barrel. The punchlines write themselves.

SWC/B12 fans enjoyed a century of entertainment provided by aggy. SEC brethren are getting all that squeezed into an eight year window thanks to the internet.

Can you imagine if the internet existed during the era when Aggie won a conference title at a rate similar to the return of the locusts? It would have been solid gold.

Ohio State can go frick themselves. Play a bowl game, pussies.
Georgia hasn’t retroactively claimed any, but they probably should. They could certainly stake claims to ‘27, and ‘46.
In ‘46 they were the only unbeaten, untied team in the country and of the three teams named champs by at least one major poll, Georgia was the only one to win its bowl game.
The Big 10 didn't allow members to play in bowl games back then.
Sorry, but y'all didn't claim 1942 until sometime in the 80s.
