One claim is based on feelings. The other is based on the (real) trophies. You decide which one matters more. Does everything taste like pork ribs and cotton candy in Rainbow Land? I’ve never been, you tell me what it’s like.

Why sure, you think aggie should have celebrated and claimed victory because the poll said they were better. That's cool, I just happen to believe the score board is where you find the truth. We can agree to disagree. So do you also believe Texas is back? You know sports writers say they are every year so it must be true. It's kinda crazy when you think about it, instead of playing the games and taking the chance of someone getting hurt we could just use the same opinion polls you talk about. I mean they are never wrong, are they?

this genuinely makes me sad. you still are ignoring whether any team in history who won both polls, as alabama did in 1964, hasnt claimed the title.

is it because it's never happened and you're just doing it because you desperately need this???

I’m unaware of any unclaimed titles
Holy shite, 10 pages and no one seems to know how this shite works.

It's not about "claiming titles" it's about acknowledging TROPHIES AWARDED. Look in the trophy case and count the number of trophies awarded by reputable organizations. The OP basically laid out that since 1936 the sportswriters, and later the coaches association, are the only two organizations whose championship awards are worth acknowledging.

This is basically how ALL of college football saw it, and how LSU still does it, until Alabama started acknowledging awards from less than reputable organizations ironically enough, and, additionally, started claiming Rose Bowl victories as national championships, all to just pad their already impressive numbers. That's when people really started to realize how insecure Alabama fans really are.

90 pages on the other thread. 10 pages on this thread.

100 pages of, "we do to so have 18 nashnul champships...y'all is just jealous...I'm a tellin' Nick. "

More than enough proof that Bammer DOES NOT have anywhere near 18 NCs.

It would be different if some of them actually attended Bama.

Tennessee has only 2. And 1951 is iffy since the better team, undefeated Maryland, beat you in your bowl game.
Ok, I'm good with that. Unlike you, my self-worth and dick size is not tied to the performance of a college football team.

Now admit your "we gots 18" is pure bullshite. You have nowhere even close to 18.

And from Grantland (Bill Simmons), quoting Alan Gould, the AP reporter responsible for starting the AP poll in ‘36:

“It was a case of thinking up ideas to develop interest and controversy,” Gould said years later, explaining the origin of the AP poll. “Papers wanted material to fill space between games. That’s all I had in mind, something to keep the pot boiling. Sports then was living off controversy, opinion, whatever. This was just another exercise in hoopla.”

AP poll had zero differentiating credibility in those early years. At best, you’re talking credibility—in the reporters own eyes, mind you—post-war in the 50’s. More likely credibility didn’t start until the 70’s

Explain how undefeated and not allowing a single point to be scored by a single opponent with the most difficult schedule in both years is bogus?

2011: Alabama beat LSU more decisively than LSU beat Alabama ... but I ain’t mad at those who still say LSU was the year’s best team. Also, the BCS computers thought Oklahoma State should’ve made the title game, so claim it if you want.


That’s not how lsu or most teams roll.

LSU doesn’t claim fake titles. Never will.

The “claim it if you will” mantra is what we all laugh at.

It’s the reason for this thread and the infamous 9 year thread of bogus titles.

The wretching by some posters, here is hilarious.

Weird flex? Alabama identified as nat’l champs in 2011. Pretty undisputed.

Mainly because you never competed for any before 2003.
