What about Central Florida’s claim a few years ago?

Doing my beat to remove all my biases, I gotta say great work OP.
And thanks for pointing out that the majority of AP and UPI voters were from outside the south at that time. That shows how some head scratchers were chosen over the SEC team.

Why do I need you to back me up? In 1964 UPI and AP claimed it for us. In 1966 you live with what you can't change.
If teams actually played each other for championships for over 100 years, the entire history of college football would look much different. That's not my fault, or yours, or BAMA's. I wouldn't spend a minute of my time worrying about a beauty contest that nobody around here these days even saw. Trying to make a federal case out of it now is superfluous.
I was referring to "you" as in Alabama. Not you personally.
BTW, the 1966 Tide are a lot like the 1946 Dawgs. We weren't coming off of a national title, but we went undefeated. Had some nice wins over ranked opponents. Beat everyone by at least ten (you had a nail biter with Tennessee).But finished third because Army and Notre Dame were thought to be better and they tied each other when they played and won the rest of their games. Bias or not, at least opponent rankings wise and the way the teams won their games, I can see how some might think those Notre Dame teams and Michigan State and Army teams were the best in both years.

I was kind of surprised to find that almost all at least had a good argument to claim it. That's among the current SEC teams. The two from Tennessee (1940 and 1967) and Alabama (1941) are kind of WTH?. But among the others, even if I think they ultimately shouldn't claim it, I think they can make a good argument.
I had never really looked into it and Tennessee gets made fun of often for claiming four non AP titles in the AP poll era. But two of their claims are legit.

Tennessee claims 1938 according to Wikipedia. That's why I looked at it in the post.
You’re right, I was thinking 1939. My apologies.

When they join the SEC I'll look into it. Probably no chance now UTK will stop claiming 1967 though.

No such thing. But if they can explain why they suddenly dropped selectors they used in 1935 that were still around in 1936, that would be helpful. And why did they all the sudden start adding others later.
As I've said, the AP was far more biased then that it is now. They made a concerted effort to have sportswriters spread out in different regions of the country do their polls now. At that time, they did not and it's pretty obvious that they favored teams from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, etc. And yet for over a decade that's all the NCAA used? It's a rewriting of history.

Got cheated in '45 and '77 too. '77 and '66 would have led to 3-peats.

Alabama's '41 claim needs to be swapped for the '66 gang rape of that Tide team!

You were no. 20 in the AP poll before the bowl games. Twenty.

I'd say they paid you back well in 73 and 78, but that's just me.

bullshite list that treats exhibition games as official games.

The NCAA will list anything people want to put on there. The NCAA does not "recognize" any national championships, it's nothing more than a list some editor puts out.
If you believe otherwise, please show me the official guidelines the NCAA uses when recognizing national championships.

Imagine being named the national champion. You spend an entire month celebrating knowing you are a national champion. Then after that month, you play in an exhibition game that you go into knowing doesn't count.
And then 50 years later some dumbass starts pretending it's an official game that counts.
Don't be that dumbass.
