but that 2003 title was still split


No it wasn't

The BCS was and is the only recognized title claim since it's creation. They played in the BCSNCG.

Exactly. Who cares what the legit number is? Anyone you slice it, it's more than anyone else. You can dispute our titles, you can't dispute Bama is the GOAT

So 2003 and 2007 were not legit


those years are a disgrace to the sport. If Chicken assumes that most years there are no legit champions, he has to concede that 2003 and 2007 fall into that same category.

his bias and ignorance are on full display.

So Alabama currently has 2.5 times as many NCs as the next closest team, and after this year will have 3 times as many NCs as the next closest team? All this AND Notre Dame is left completely out? I'll allow it.

Chicken master troll.



How is it trolling when it's true. Arkansas fans threads are trolling this is not a troll. The SEC rant has become a troll fest and doesn't understand what a troll is anymore.

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


Because it has just as much merit as allbamadoesiswin's opinion

That doesn't answer my question.
People believe what they are told. Prior to the BCS, most title claims were a farce. It is why we have the BCS now.

Pfft. The ole, "You're one of the best programs ever, if not the best, but not by as much as you think!" argument.

A) If you let a fan spout off about National Championships and all you do is laugh at them. They've won. They're already in your head.
B) How about we solve it this way. Simply put, Alabama is better than you were yesterday, they're better than you today AND odds are - better than you'll be tomorrow.

Admin or not - get serious.

Then claim all titles prior to 1998 were bogus.

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.
right, which furthers the point that most title claims prior to the BCS are ridiculous.

So, under your system Alabama STILL has twice as many titles as any other team, including more titles in the last 4 years than any other team has in the entire history of their pathetic programs?

I can dig it.

I'm not sure why our 96 title doesn't count. It was won on the field under the Bowl Alliance, the predecessor to the BCS.

Well anyways. I like this thread. I like how idiots - on both sides - think it's somehow a shot at Bama. A non-troll disguised as a troll, I guess. Well played.

Bama fans sho is sensitive. I thought for sure the ole miss fans would be the most pissed about this thread.

LSU had to give up an ancient, illegitimate title, too. What's the big deal?

What is most significant about 1998 is that all FBS schools agreed and signed on (literally) to the process, whether they like the outcome or not. That's why there should be no complaints about invites (USC 2003, AU 2004, LSU 2011, etc). Like it or not, everyone signed on.
