Explain it to the scoreboard.

1930 - Alabama finished the regular season going 9-0 against a schedule that included LSU, Ole Miss , and ever current SEC East team except Missouri and South Carolina outscoring it's opponents 242-13 in the process. Alabama went on to defeat Washington State 24-0 in the Rose Bowl.

1930 Notre Dame finished the regular season going 10-0 outscoring opponents 271-74 in the process. Notre Dame defeated USC 27-0 in its last regular season game. The same USC team that lost to Washington State...Alabama's Rose Bowl opponent...earlier that season.

Notre Dame has a completely valid claim that season because they were awarded the title in the majority of polls that year but it's important to keep in mind that most polls awarded the national championship at the end of the regular season when Notre Dame was 10-0 and had just defeated USC 27-0 but before Alabama smoked the same Washington State that beat USC earlier that season 24-0 in the Rose Bowl.

1941 is the only egregious one. The other ones are as legit as any of the other titles from around that time. If they’re dubious because they’re shared or because they crowned a national champion before the bowl games in those days, then a lot of school’s pre-1990s titles are also up for debate.

In my mind, we didn’t get real national champions until the 1990s, and if you went undefeated or had one loss in a season with no undefeated teams, won the SEC, were generally dominant, and won your bowl (or were awarded before the bowl, which was common in the days when bowl games were seen as just holiday exhibitions), then that’s fine.

Schools that claim titles in the BCS/CFP era but didn’t win the national championship game are kidding themselves, though (looking at you 2017 UCF and 2003 USC).

The AP was in its infancy and didn't garner its prestige until many years later....there were over a dozen polls authorized by the NCAA and UGA won the overwhelming consensus number of them.

Ohio State finished 9-1 and did not go to a bowl game. Georgia finished 11-1, crushed Florida 75-0 and thrashed the #2 team in the nation (Georgia Tech) in the final game of the season and whipped UCLA 9-0 in the Rose Bowl. OSU played unranked Iowa Pre-Flight in its final regular season game and, again, did not go to a bowl game.

UGA should claim 1942 and they do. Ohio State has the same right to claim '42 if they want--and they do.

You should look up exactly why Ohio State didn't go to a bowl. You can do it!

Pedo St was undefeated in 1978, Bryant talked Paterno into playing in the Sugar Bowl so it would be AP #1 vs AP #2.
Also, the Orange Bowl was an OU/Nebraska rematch that season since both were co Big 8 champs. Huskers won the regular season game, Sooners got payback in Miami.

I am no Bama fan but the '66 fiasco led Bear to say he hoped the boys in Vietnam weren't playing for a tie, referring to I think Michigan State and N. D.

He was right, Bama should have been crowned champs that year at least.

Screw N. D., any team from Michigan, and Bama.

I'm with the other gator that made the thread about 84 we're claiming that from now on.

The tell Notre Dame, USC,.....GEORGIA...that those Rose Bowl titles, which were the national championship game back then, that they have WAY less than they claim. Go tell Notre Dame that they have 66, 73, 77 and 88.
You will be told to F off. If it's only since the poll era so be it. Bama still owns college football since the poll era began. Count UGA's titles since the poll era. You have nowhere even close to 8.

Well said, by a jealous, envious, little-sister piece of shite.
