re: Which SEC teams claim the most bogus national championships - now with Texas and Oklahoma

quote:

In 1939, Texas A&M was also undefeated and had more than twice as many votes for 1st place.

I don’t give a single frick what the selectors votes were. The coastal elite writers hated southeastern teams back then and still do to an extent. The votes prove it. You and all of those pencil pushing dorks can EAD……

November 18 No. 1 Tennessee extended its shutout streak, beating Vanderbilt 13–0. Having outscored its opposition, 186–0, Tennessee had a record of 8–0–0, but fell to second in the poll that followed. Their replacement in the top spot was No. 2 Texas A&M, which won at Rice 19–0. No. 3 USC was idle. No. 4 Cornell won at No. 20 Dartmouth, 35–6, to stay unbeaten, and they swapped spots with USC in the next poll. No. 5 Oklahoma lost at No. 12 Missouri, 7–6. No. 6 Tulane beat Columbia 25–0 to move into fifth place.

In the next poll, Texas A&M—which had gotten none of the first place votes the week before—was first, with 38 votes. Tennessee, which had had 66 of the 85 No. 1 votes the week before, had 33 on the new round of ballots, and finished second. There were 20 for Cornell, and 11 for USC.

Shutting out a 2-5-1 Vandy team doesn't sound that impressive, sure, but the Aggies' foe - Rice - was 1-5-1 and HAD LOST TO VANDY HEAD-TO-HEAD that season.

The next week, we were both on a bye but TAMU stayed in first place while we fell to 4th.


November 25 No. 1 Texas A&M and No. 2 Tennessee were idle. In Philadelphia, No. 3 Cornell closed its season with a 26–0 win over Penn, to finish unbeaten and untied at 8–0–0. No. 4 USC won at No. 7 Notre Dame, 20–12. No. 5 Tulane beat Sewanee 52–0. In the next round of voting, Texas A&M and USC tied for first place, with 939 points apiece. Cornell led all teams with 34 first-place votes (A&M received 27 and USC 25), but their 909 overall points put them in third place. Tennessee fell to No. 4 and Tulane remained at No. 5.?

You are just awarding yourself a national championship when in reality you are just another in a long list of people who have been upset about the results.

Also, UT faced 2 ranked teams, the team with more “votes” faced 1.

I’m not upset about the results. We were undefeated and un scored upon. That’s the best result a team could ask for before clueless, biased writers cast their “votes”

When the other schools that claim a title when they lost a bowl game, or didnt even play in one, no longer do it then Alabama should do it but the trophy remains in Tuscaloosa

That's fine, but Alabama claims at least two more that are sketchy if Georgia's 1942 ship is bogus.

Georgia finished with one loss just like OSU and had the same amount of selectors calling then national champs. We could claim several more if we wanted just based on someone saying we were national champs.

Dooley was at the College Football HOF and found we were listed being named champs in just as many recognized polls as OSU and so we started claiming that one.

Here's why you claim 18:

Next up is Alabama, which is most renowned for seeming to over-count. The Crimson Tide claim 17: six under Bear Bryant, 5 under Nick Saban, and another by Gene Stallings. There was also the 1934 season, which was widely recognized. But in the 1980s, Wayne Atcheson, then the Alabama sports information director, circled back and added four more: 1925, 1926, 1930 and 1941. Three of those teams were in unbeaten seasons, though they weren’t the only unbeaten teams. The 1941 Alabama team, on the other hand, was 9-2 and had only one No. 1 poll: The Houlgate.

“I tried to make Alabama football look the best it could look and just make it as great as it could possibly be,” Atcheson told the Birmingham News in 2010. “I was a competitor myself with the other schools, and what they bragged about and boasted about, I wanted people to know the best about my school.”

Alabama is far from the only school to be liberal in its qualifications.

I've always found it amusing that LSU fans need to write a multi-page dissertation about Alabama's national titles.

I’ve always found it amusing that Alabama fans wanted to catch up to Notre Dame in titles, so they just went back in time to retroclaim some that they didn’t claim before.

By far it's Bama...You guys would claim a title even if the Johnson County Sentinel were the only newspaper in America to declare it

Alabama and Georgia have the same amount of bogus claims - 1.

Alabama however has 17 legit ones behind it while Georgia has only 3.

And if you really want to talk about the 3 Georgia has, the 1980 might be the weakest National Championship in history. In competition with 1981 Clemson.

1980 Georgia didn't play a single ranked team until the bowl game. They bypassed all the SEC teams - as usual because that's the only way Georgia can be relevant. Then you played 7th ranked Notre Dame(9th after the game) in the bowl game and barely squeaked out a 7 point win. They got beat in their last game of the year by USC by 17 points.

And hell, that wasn't even Georgia's closest game of the year. Barely getting by multiple unranked teams.

The only reason you have that NC is because of an extremely shitty SoS.

Arkansas - 1909, 1964, 1977

You could. I would give you credit for it as well.

Your definition of “crying” is hilarious.


However, you’re also the poster suggesting that people suck your d-ck.


You have a problem. Need to talk about it, loser?
