re: List of Sports your school has won a natty

1925 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn’t exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.

1926 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it!

1930 National Championship- The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933!

So you're not familiar with retroactive polls?

I thought you had a basic understanding of college football. I'm sorry, I'll gear future posts to something more your speed.


This is NOT the kind of football we're referencing, FYI:



I know it's hard for you, but we'll keep things simpler for future discussions with you in mind.

So the team was good enough to win a national championship, but wouldn't have been good enough to win this conference?

Make it make sense
