One thing is for sure. You aren’t shedding any light on why they retroactively awarded themselves champs on their media guide, just because they had good years and “the football thesaurus” and other obscure polls said they deserved it.
So keep refuting; keep giving us stats we do not care about.
But you’re not bringing any explanations on why it happened....even in some common-sense, real talk.
Try it. You might like it.

There are newspapers (national newspapers) that were printed the day after the Rose Bowl(s) of 1925, and 1926 that said Alabama was National Champs. There are pictures of the National Title trophy being given to Coach Thomas after the 1935 Rose Bowl.
Your argument about Alabama retroactively awarding themselves the national title is wrong.
I know it is hard to understand, but the 1983 Alabama Media Guide was mostly about Coach Bryant and HIS accomplishments at Alabama.
You want to rewrite history, but Alabama has the hardware, given to them after winning the national title that year, in the same manner it is given today.
What is so hard to understand?

You swung
You missed.....again.
Atcheson even is quoted that he “tried to make Alabama look as good as it could”.
Sorry bro. You can quote all you want. But my original point is that you guys had no clue that you were going to go on this phenomenal run.
In order to compensate for that, your guys said “hey, frick it, we want to give us more, add five more ......quoted .....to make us look good.”
And now you look petty for it.
: so now in your response, I’ll give you three options to pick from, in order to save your keyboard from the pounding it’s getting ready to get
1. “frick you we still have more”
2. We could claim 3 more if it upsets you
3. Bro, I’m out, I can’t even talk to you.
Just pick a number.

I pick "4" you still have no clue.
Alabama has the hardware (AKA the National Title Trophy) that was award for the NC those early years. See easy...
Now as soon as you can explain how Alabama got the NC trophy in January 1926 (for the 1925 season) or January 1927 (for the 1926 season), or January 1931 (for the 1930) season, then maybe you would have a point.

Atcheson even is quoted that he “tried to make Alabama look as good as it could”.
Yes, because the media guide was only listing Coach Bryant's titles, and Alabama was only listing the ones won after the polls were standardized, he realized that just as ND, and USCw were listing earlier NC, Alabama could as well. This is not rocket science.
You even have a problem keeping your story straight. Alabama added the pre-WW2 titles in 1983, and this run is happening since 2009...
Really I hope you do your job better than you do research, because you really suck at it.
Really laughing at you now. Face it, you have lost and lost badly. No way for you to explain away the trophies Alabama owns for the early titles.....
But I will give you three options
1. "F U C K ........"
2. "F U C K ........"
3. "F U C K ........"
Game set match.........
edit to add- still laughing at you....

Atcheson and Watson said it's important to put Alabama's claim of 12 in context because other schools have added debated championships, too. "I tried to make Alabama football look the best it could look and just make it as great as it could possibly be," Atcheson said. "I was a competitor myself with the other schools, and what they bragged about and boasted about, ******I wanted people to know the best about my school."***** (tidefanInFL, look at me, look me in the eye, THIS. Is. What. I’m. Talkin. Bout. ) Asked why 12 is the right number, Watson replied: "I don't know that it is the right number. But that's the great thing about college football. I hope we never have a playoff. I'll be going to my grave arguing that we should have won a national championship in 1966."
Straight from your mans mouth.

I don’t remember changing my story or caring about your 1926/1932/1944 diatribes either . You just came up with a straw man as a Hey, look over there, when that’s not even what I was talking about.
I gave you the reason that this was started in the first place; ”wanting to look good. “.....that’s it.
It’s embarrassing for you and that why you you’re angry with the keyboard.
Go back, find the post, find someone to read it to you, then realize that I gave you the reason why it was done.
Then give me numbers 1, 2, or 3 because that’s all I would accept from you.
Try it.
ETA.
And to all the rest of you. Watch this. It won’t make any sense. But it will entertain you.

Good grief man, you are making my argument,
"other schools have added debated championships, too"
I am sorry I have hurt your sensibilities, but you need to stop posting, you are making yourself look even more foolish with each post (and I did not think that was possible).....
REALLY laughing at you now....
edit to add: He would have said 11 not 12 by the way.... 5 before WW2, and 6 of Bryant's...

There are two people here proving my point......you and me.
Did you go back and have someone read my original to you?

LOL....just because they are debate does not make them any less real....Look at ND's 1966 title for evidence
God man, you really suck at this....

The point.... Alabama won those titles pre-WW2, and should count them as they have the trophies awarded. They were not counting them in 1983, while many other schools were. It was just a correction.
The 1983 media guide was mostly about Coach Bryant and his time at Alabama.
This is not complicated

Now I’m going to have to lead you down another avenue of disappointment because you just can’t shut up.
Go poll 100 bama fans Over 35 years old. They’ll give you any number between 15 and 18.
You aren’t educating anyone. Your facts, in fact, DO change.
This is hilarious.
See below.

Just because you can not count does not mean others have the same problem.
Every Alabama fan will say 17...... for now (the season is here again)
How deep are you going to dig your hole?
