debate about how many national titles Alabama had, how we really didn't have all that many, etc etc made me want to jump off a bridge
Nick Saban has won a lot in the last 5 years, but that really doesn't have anything to do with Alabama... hate to be the one to tell you

Now that you mention it, I don't think that I've seen the annual 'How many NCs does Bama really have?' threads at all this summer. phan, AU24, and Bowl have let me down.
I feel cheated.

Like I said, when the response can be "does it matter? We have more AP ones than anyone else" there isn't much sense in it. Was a lot more fun for them when we were 2-3 behind Notre Dame, Oklahoma, USC, etc.

Can we claim 1942 instead of 1941?

LOL - we finished ranked 10th in 1942 as opposed to 20th in 1941.
