Non SEC, but I never understood why Saint Louis U hasn’t claimed 1906. Invented the forward pass and went 11-0 on the season. C’mon

quote:

Five Auburn teams have been awarded a national championship from NCAA-designated major selectors—1913, 1957, 1983, 1993, and 2010. The 1957 and 2010 championships are consensus national championships and claimed by the university.

So we actually claim less NC that we could. We could easily claim 1913. 2004 was a year we deserved to play for it, but BSPN took over an we Oklahoma played USC.


Well yeah. I mean Bama could claim more than they do. Lots of schools could

If 1964 is a bogus title for Arkansas then they need to go ahead and claim 65 and 77.

Arkansas barely lost 13-9 to Texas. Notre Dame lost to a 5-6 Ole Miss team.

15 more pages of "yes, we does too done it so has 18 nashnul champships..."

Add that to the other 91.

106 pages of Bammers tugging their dicks trying to make them longer. I swear. You would think these inbred fools had their paychecks to that bogus 18 number.

Look man, everyone here agrees with you that it sucks Arkansas didn’t win the title in 1964. They may very well have had the best team but they simply didn’t get it done. But man, claiming a FWAA title in the 60’s, that’s just pure desperation. Not a good look bro

Better luck next year, maybe they’ll get one one of these days.

"6. Texas A&M: 3 claims, 1919 and 1927 are bogus, 66% bogus claim"
-------------------------------------------
1917 - Undefeated & unscored upon. MNC not even claimed.

1919 - Undefeated & unscored upon - MNC.

1927 - MNC

1939 - MNC

That is why all of the champions were mythical up until the CFP.

Thanks for sharing your opinion which doesn't mean sh*t!!

*Good grief! You, sir, are a f**king idiot!

1919 uses math polls that weren't created until the 1960s.
1927 uses the Sagarin poll.

Neither of them were claimed by Texas A&M until they came to the SEC.

At some point someone will probably create a poll that says just about anything. Sorry, but at some point you kind of have to say new math polls don't really count.

But I will give A&M credit for 1919 because of the undefeated season.

Fair enough. Sorry for coming across as a prick. Way too much of that on here.

Most folks on this site just wear me out.

Moving on, it has pretty much been a joke over the course of history, as far as claimed titles overall.

I was looking at this stuff about a year ago. I had no idea that there have been years that you've had several schools claiming NC's the same year (ranked #1 in different polls, I suppose.)

I'll go a step further and say that even with the CFP, it feels kinda rigged because we have many of the same teams ranked highly to start every year.

I think it'll be a lot better once they actually expand the playoff to 8 or 12.

Anyway, thanks for at least making an attempt to be objective in the OP, based on the metrics that you set.

Cheers!
