re: New Bham News article comparing Bama NC's to Notre Dame

I'll show you how easy it is to leave a thread and not come back.

I think it was the 1932 season, but awarded in 1933 and they had no reason to turn down the Rose Bowl trophy. However, the retroactive rankings recognized by the NCAA also give those to USC, so it is not the same as Bama's claim. If USC claimed it without the retroactive polls recognized by the NCAA, it would be as illegitimate as Bama's 1934 claim. Again, the Rose Bowl was puffing itself up and calling its winner the National Championship without any real justification.

Then why did USC claim it as a NC AT THE TIME IT WAS AWARDED?

If you rely on the Rissman as the standard prior to 1936 then you have to give up 3 other titles to keep 1934.

I never said you have to rely on one and not the other
