Why are you mad that the AP was the first and only poll before WW2?

Ohio State was selected as the national champion by the Associated Press (AP). The Georgia Bulldogs won the SEC championship and had an overall record of 11–1, including a victory over UCLA in the 1943 Rose Bowl.
Honestly just about every NC in just about every year had multiple title winners. Stinks, but it makes for some good arguments.
Absolutely. And truthfully? They really don't matter except for message board arguments. Although, when you have as many as Alabama has it is very impressive.

there were multiple polls before the AP Poll
Albert Russel Erskine Trophy
> The Albert Russel Erskine Trophy, emblematic of the national football championship as determined by 250 sports writers, will be presented to Notre Dame, 1929 winner, at the Pittsburgh–Notre Dame basketball game in this city, February 8.
For 1931 it was awarded to the winner of the Rose Bowl, a true national championship game:
> Southern California's 21–12 victory over Tulane brought the Trojans the Albert Russell Erskine football trophy and the national grid championship for 1931. Presentation of the trophy was made in front of the Trojan rooting section following the game by William R. Moorehouse, member of the Erskine award board. The Erskine award brought a Studebaker President eight sedan to Coach Howard Jones, an engraved cup to the University of Southern California and a scroll signifying the national championship to the Trojan team.
Toledo Cup
> (1934) The selection of Minnesota was made by 250 sports editors of newspapers from coast to coast. This team won the preliminary ballot over 11 other teams and then went on to carry the final ballot over Alabama by 224 to 23.
