The funny thing is, they changed for 1965 and did the final poll AFTER the bowls. That allowed Alabama to jump from #4 to #1 after winning their bowl game.


Always changing the rules after Alabama teams frick Arkansas, funny how it always breaks for the Alabama teams the next time too..

17 claimed National Championships and 4 unclaimed National Championships. That's a lot of hardware to only have 2 Heisman winners.

You don't need the best player when you have the best team. It also doesn't hurt when both of the GOAT coaches won many titles at your school. How many hesimans is that worth?

Sounds like you are ready for my 4 step method of making Alabama your second favorite SEC team. See the thread: "Pulling for BAMA" and post me in the morning.

Ah child, those were mostly Coach Bryant achievements they were listing. However football at Alabama has a long and glorious history.

You are right, but at Alabama just about everybody gets to play. Coach Bryant never had a Heisman winner at Alabama because no player ever really played the whole game and ran up stats.

While I am happy Alabama has won 2 Heisman trophies, truth is when I am talking Alabama football, I never even think about them. Individual trophies are for lesser teams to brag about.

All NCs claimed or awarded prior to the BCS or CFP era should be asterisked.

Well, how about the #1 vs #2 games that were played in bowls? Even with the BCS and CFP there has been some problems.

Why does Texas not get shite for claiming the 1970 Coaches Poll national championship, despite losing their bowl game, and despite Nebraska winning the AP with an undefeated record

To be fair, Texas does get shite for this. But it's still just as weak of a troll as this thread is supposed to be. And the ones that do the trolling tend to have a low number of championships themselves, but I digress.

When the regular season finished, they crowned the champions. That's how it worked back then.

And yes, the NCAA could *gasp* have multiple national champions depending on the multiple selectors, which is why Arkansas' 1964 National Championship claim is just as credible.
