You're either ignorant or just being obtuse. Those 2 Clemson teams had DeShaun Watson (who beat us on the last play of the game) and then Trevor Lawrence at QB and were damned good teams. But hey, they were no TCU, right?

That is pretty impressive to have that many national title game appearances, and titles to go with 6 of them. It's also impressively absurd the number of total championships your school claims because they were named #1 in some defunct, obscure poll. By that logic, LSU could also claim the 1908, 1936, 1962, and 2011 National Championships but choose not to do so.



Bama has an undefeated (2 if you go wayyy back) that they don’t claim.

Also, they were screwed multiple times by sportswriters in the 60’s-70’s out of Titles:
- Notre Dame leap frogging #3 Bama when Bama had just beaten #1 and #2 lost in their respective Bowl Game, and yet ND at #5 was voted National Champions (also had an inferior record compared to Bama).

There are 2-3 more examples just like those where Northern Sportswriters put ND/Penn St/etc ahead of Bama in the final poll out of spite (especially when it came to ever letting them win 3 Natties in a row).

How do you claim 1941 national championship? Not trolling, but genuinely wondering?

I agree, Bama needs to scrap the claim to the 1941 Title bc they lost twice in the same season.

They should drop 1941, and claim some of the undefeated seasons instead.

That 1941 two-loss team is the one that is used to propagate the myth that Bama claims so many Titles they don’t deserve.

When in fact, they should legitimately have 3 more that are indisputable.

When you are the only undefeated team then you should be voted National Champions in the “Poll-Era” imo.

Now that explanation I get. Never had any Tide fan give a good, logical explanation for that.

I wish LSU would claim the 1908, 1936, and 1962 ones for sure, but I understand why they don't.

You lost to an ACC team twice for a natty. Yikes!

There's no Bama fan who's alive who cheers this one.

I do respect the SEC's new philosophy of you can't lose to a different conference in the championship game, if you don't make the championship game.

We haven’t lost to any ACC teams in nattys though. That’s pretty embarrassing.


Not as embarrassing as losing to Notre Dame…

Lets do head to head record this decade.


Hell, just jump to number of claimed nattys and be done. Surely no team in the SEC has claimed a natty that they didn't actually win.

Pretty sure losing to a program that hasn’t won shite since the Reagan administration was preparing to exit office is much worse, but whatever helps you cope…

Do Heisman winners this century?

Why not bring it back to the 90s and 80s? How was Georgia back then?

Sorry if I missed anybody.


I fricking HATE Alabama, and still this is dumb as shite.
they played in the title game 9 times, and won 7....

Georgia has played in the game 3 times, and lost one.

Head to head Georgia vs Bama record is 1-1....

So, Bama has appeared in the game 3x as many times as Georgia. they've won it more than 2x as many times as Georgia.
Bama has a 78% winning percentage in the championship game.
Georgia has a 67% winning percentage in the championship game.

I fricking HATE bama, but you're dumb as shite for starting this thread.
