We were the best two teams that year by a wide margin. As an LSU fan, I wish we had played Okie St in the final game. We would have destroyed them and yes, bc of our schedule that year, we would've had a legit claim to the best ever. But I knew after the first game we were the two best teams in the country.
10 fg
1 TD
2+ games
That was some crazy good defense by both teams
OSU and Stanford both would've given each of those teams fits.
LSU completely sucked on offense if they couldn't run directly up the middle. They typically relied on Mathieu making a game-changing play on Special Teams or their defense giving them a short field by forcing mistakes of the opponent.
Alabama simply denied them either opportunity in the bowl game and embarrassed them.
There wasn't really anything special about any team in 2011. Just a total devoid of offensive talent across the country, outside of Stanford and OSU.

the real fact of the matter is had BGSU not canceled the game with AU for a game with OU, we would have been in the game.

Many in this thread are missing the point.
Alabama doesn't claim any of the ones listed in the OP, but they'd certainly have an argument if they tried.

1959 and 1962 are way more legitimate than 1964 Alabama...Ole Miss split the title with a 2 loss Minnesota in 59. 62 ole miss went undefeated and split with USC because there was no way the media was gonna give it to the Rebels with the national guard occupying our campus during the James Meredith fiasco.

So now non-major poll titles are more legitimate than actual titles awarded by the AP or Upi/coaches?
I said in the other thread the goal posts are always moving in this argument about Alabama's "16 titles". But now you troglodytes are questioning actual poll titles too?

1964 Alabama was awarded the AP and UPI national championship. It doesn't get any more legitimate than that.
If bowl games had mattered as much then as they do now, there's a decent chance Alabama wins that game against Texas. But, let's be honest here, Namath scored on third and goal as well as fourth and goal. The refs cheated us out of that one.

I don't think most people recognize UGA's 1942 title, although we claim it.
Also, we don't claim it, but go back and look yourself, we should've claimed the 1946 title.

in 1959 and 1962 they most certainly were...for the reasons I already listed.

You don't get to make up championship seasons in the Poll Era (and this includes Alabama's '41 title claim). You play by the rules that were established. If you weren't awarded the national championship by the AP, UPI, or FWAA in 1959 and 1962, guess what: You weren't national champions!
Posted on 5/4/17 at 11:38 am to RollTide1987
FWAA doesn't count either. LSU wins both AP and UPI going 10-0 before finishing 11-0-0. FWAA crowns Iowa which went 8-1-1. FWAA and NFF don't have credibility like the AP and Coaches.

Syracuse was the only champion in 1959 winning both the UPI and AP.
Despite an 10-0-1 Ole Miss record in 1960, the AP and UPI deemed an 8-2 Minnesota the better selection. Ole Miss doesn't have any part of the 1960 national title.

Ole Miss was, however, far and away the best team those 2 years. politics kept the media from awarding the title to them. and you know this.

You're thinking of 1960. In '59, 10-1 Ole Miss "split" the title with 11-0 Syracuse.
