UT claims a MNC in 1970, a year that they lost their bowl game to Notre Dame...

First off, UT claims it as a shared National Title. They share it with Nebraska. So lets be clear on that one. Texas also claims that title because lots of folks considered the claim to be legitimate. If Texas claimed every single garbage national title that has been bestowed upon them, the list would be as such:

1914, 1941, 1963, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1977, 1981, 2005.

That's 9. Instead, Texas generally claims 4.

The only consensus aTm national championship is what, 1939? A total of 3 publications (including the AP) credit aTm with that national title. In fact, a total of 7 publications combined to award aTm their 3 (2 bogus) national titles.

Double digit publications awarded Texas each year of their consensus national titles. In other words, more publications proclaimed Texas national champions in 1 year (pick a year) than the sundry publications that have ever awarded aTm a national title...COMBINED.
