I think it is IMPORTANT to remember how and when Alabama claims 5 championships in ONE YEAR... Look a the Bama media guide for 1983...It claims 6 national championships... Add 3 since then and that give Alabama 9 which is AMAZING, but not good enough for new Bama fans...


Have you ever balanced your checkbook and upon closer examination, realized $20 existed that you didn't think you had? That's what Ray Perkins did. He balanced the title checkbook.

I will say that UT is way worse than Bama though, they claim 4 bs titles.



No way 38 is bs.

50 and 39 can be argued for easily as well.

67 is easily the worst.

The NCAA has nothing to do with awarding national titles.

How is the 1938 title BS iyo?

The NCAA has nothing to do at all with football national titles. Zero. In 1938 24 selectors selected Tennessee and 14 selected TCU.

Just because the AP, which had been around for 2 years at the time, chose TCU does not mean anything.

I've seen you post that link before, but I do not understand why you feel the NCAA is some kind of authority on this.

I wouldn't say we deserve it more than other teams, but SOS should have more involvement in the voting.

It is NCAA football, correct?
And why is this sold on UT's official athletic site?

I feel like the Arkansas Razorbacks deserve all the success they earn on the field or the court. Nothing that happened before entitles us to anything. This is the SEC. Everything a team gets what they deserve, because they earned it.

I agree with this.

Many schools can say they deserved to win a game or a championship due to certain things that happened that robbed them of their shot but no school deserves anything it didn't earn on the field.

They didn't get screwed. They won the national championship and were considered national champions by the overwhelming majority of selectors. Just because a fan of a team that didn't start playing serious football until the 90's disagrees doesn't make him right.

Reading Volnation, those fans deserve to go 5-7 with Derek Dooley for the next 5 years.
