Are you kidding me? This is your evidence for a national championship in 1926? This article does not claim Alabama is a national champion. It says three teams finished the season undefeated. That is all. Did Alabama play Stanford in Pasadena to settle it all?
Alabama played Stanford to a 7-7 tie in the Rose Bowl.

"...proposed New Year's day battle..."

Settles it for me. The significance of a game (not even referred to as the Rose Bowl) that was played to a tie means Alabama is clearly the 1926 national champion. Flawless, irrefutable logic. Wonder how Lafayette finished their season.



This 13 championship thing is the gift that keeps on giving.
