I claim 12. The 1941 claim is bogus. But I have no problem claiming any of the others the NCAA lists given how we were screwed in 1966 and 77.

It doesn't really matter. As long as you use similar criteria to compare schools, Bama is on top. What I love is when the Barners try to use very restrictive criteria for us and then claim titles in 93 and 04 for themselves.

Or Auburn fans trying to claim 93 as an SEC title.

We dont claim 45 and 66, so we will just change the numbers from 41 and 73, hows that work for everybody?

The difference is our school doesn't claim them, while y'all's does. And not many fans claim '93 or '04. We think we should've gotten a shot for '04. And for '93, we really complain way more about '83 than '93. We were on probation in '93. Were we the best team? Probably. Do we deserve that NC? No.

Y'all should claim 1913, it's recognized on the CFDW.

Look this is such a tired and worn out debate. There are tons of threads started by trolls of every SEC fanbase concerning Alabama and national championships.

Here is what I think. The criteria for how National Championships have been awarded has evolved over the years.

In the future I am sure fans of rival teams will try and dispute the validity of pre-playoff National Championships (BCS Era and Pre-BCS.) This is a never ending debate and everyone has their own opinion.

Fans who try to use the same criteria for how a National Championship is awarded today and apply that to the past are only trying to over compensate for their underachieving program. Oh and they are trying to overcompensate for having a very small penis....

Revisionist Historians are just the best!

A sig line grabbed from the "Inside the Auburn Tigers" message board. There are several just like this:
quote:

National Champions:

1913, 1914, 1957, 1958, 1983, 1993, 2004, 2010


It's probably TigerInMiami.

They didn't even get one major selection in 1914, 58, and 2004 though.

Edit: Only one selection for 1914, and it's/was retroactive.

The actual total is 20. The 14 they always talk about plus the 6 that were stripped from Lance Armstrong.

I have no idea why we don't. Auburn is stubborn when it comes to things like this. I guess they think it's just too old.

But you're correct. Tennessee's claim of six is insane.

Just not "start millions -- if not billions -- of threads and give them no end to shite" insane, right?

Alabama has 9 Titles where they were recognized as champions in all the major polls. 7 of those they were undefeated. Alabama also has 2 undefeated seasons where they don't claim shite.
