Why don't you use the AP rankings for 1998 to present?
because the BCS was the accepted ranking for determining the top 2 teams...

Your father was born in 1998? What are you talking about? I haven't been bragging.

School (# of Legit Titles)...Title Seasons
Alabama (5): 1978, 1992, 2009, 2011, 2012
LSU (2): 2003, 2007
Florida (2): 2006, 2008
Florida St (2): 1993, 1999
Nebraska (2): 1971, 1995
Ohio State (2): 1968, 2002
Penn State (2): 1986, 1982
Texas (2): 1963, 2005
USC (2): 1962, 2004
Miami (FL) (2): 1987, 2001
Auburn (1): 2010
Oklahoma (1): 2000
Tennessee (1): 1998

Bama owns 19.2% of all National Championships?

I'm cool with that as opposed to the old way of owning only 12.5%. Nice increase of almost 7%.

"Accepted" sure. But the formula was so fundamentally flawed that it was overhauled because of how absurdly 2003 ended.

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.

1992 for everyone not in the Big Ten and PAC.

'Universally agreed to' (school representatives) is better wording than 'accepted'. This is what is true.

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

How old are you? Honestly, not being a douche - serious question. To make this statement makes me think you're very young.
Their are some questionable national title claims by a lot of schools (including bama) but I'm pretty sure 1992 was pretty decided as to who was #1. Same for UF in 1996, etc. etc. Just because you're program doesn't have much tradition doesn't mean you should belittle everyone else's.

Why am I responding. Arguing with people who can't be persuaded.

You told me to claim all titles before 98 as bogus

LSUs 58 title is before 98

My father was born in 64

Still not getting it. You should read the OP.


Why?

Chicken went all Keyser Söze on the rant and showed what a true troll would do. Then the Bama fans take the bait hook, line and sinker.

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.
according to the AP, Florida State and Arizona State were the best two teams after the regular season ended.

I meant everyone's titles. Not LSU's.
