I like how the same counting rules are applied to every team. Usually, when AU mouthbreathers start these threads, they only apply the strictest method possible to Alabama. But as you can see, when applied evenly across the board, Alabama still lands at #1, where it belongs.

Quality thread, imho.

The exact number doesn't really matter, the only thing that matters is no matter how you count, Alabama has the most.

In 2007 Ohio State should have played Kansas. They were screwed by a flawed system.

Ok, I'll bite. Yes, all championships where numbers 1&2 did not play are bogus.

There,I said it. Does everyone feel better for admitting this factoid?

I'm still gonna claim 20 titles. Oh!,I meant 14 or is that 15?

Didn't win it's conference or division

Also, I'm pretty sure they didn't play Texas or Oklahoma that season

I'll just add that NC used to be awarded before games. Also certain schools refused to play in bowl games. So in some years it would have been impossible to have 1 vs 2.

Also you're the only person I've ever heard of that doesn't count BB's titles.

LSU (2): 2003, 2007


So wouldn't LSU's 2003 title be bogus as well? Was USC not No. 1 in both the AP and Coach's poll before and after the bowl games? I see you qualified by using AP prior to '98 and BCS afterwards, but that 2003 title was still split.

Never understood why some Alabama fans get so defensive over this issue, nor why so many rival fans take such issue with it.

At any rate, I've witnessed 4 in my adult life, and that's way more than most fan of any other school will ever do. That's good enough for me.

Why don't you use the AP rankings for 1998 to present?

Arizona State was No. 2 at the end of the regular season. FSU was No. 1 and Florida was No. 3.
