They count it along with a title from Weekly Reader and two from the National Enquirer

The Arab Tribune and The Sand Mountain Reporter named them NC that year, so it is ok to claim it as a NC

Considering they were awarded the Coaches Poll National Championship before that game occurred why would they not?

Why wouldn't Alabama count a major poll title?

well they won the coaches poll and literally no school has ever won one of the major polls and not claimed the title so absolutely.

Actually it was the UPI. Bowl games were exhibition games.

To compensate for 1941.

I think we claim 1941 to compensate for 1945.

I thought that Sugar Bowl was a 1-2 match up of unbeatens. Correct?

If I'm correct, the winner would logically by all rights be the real National Champion.

Unsporting to feel otherwise, to my way of thinking.

'41 is the only bogus one, and it makes up for the undeniable screwjob of 1966. Deal with it.
