Congrats on picking the one even Bama fans know is fake. For all others, trophies were awarded to us. (I still think we should drop the '41 claim and just go back to the 14 that we have trophies and primary sources to prove our national champion status)
You will NOT find NC trophies for ANY Natties before 1941 either... You will find Rosebowl trophies... There were no retroactive trophies awarded for your other Titles... Show me a picture of any pre-1941 trophies...

Those would be the six poll titles awarded by AP, Coach's and UPI. Several other schools went back and counted national championships from before the poll era (including UT, Michigan, and most recently Texas A&M), so I see no reason to dismiss those titles as "fake."
1925 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn’t exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.
1926 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it!
1930 National Championship- The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933!
1934 National Championship- Alabama says they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel, Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who came up with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with his own system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946!
1941 National Championship- This is a complete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teams with better records in the top 20. Once again it is the Football Thesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SEC that year. Mississippi State won the SEC title..yet Bama claims a National title!
There are other false titles claimed. You need the info on those too?

You should start a new thread on this fresh, important, and riveting topic.

However you count it, Alabama has more titles than anyone else. It is impressive. Let's move on.
I believe it is Princeton that has the most legitimate titles.

I remember when dipshits like you made fun of Alabama for relying on the past. Now that the present sucks, you're relying on the past. You need to stop trying so hard.
BTW, bonfire in Opelika tonight. You all are invited.

When you think how many people made life long memories under those trees, and how future generations won't get that same opportunity, anyone can see why it's upsetting. It was the actions of one idiot that was fricked up in the head. That all it took to ruin something that was special to so many. frick you updyke

The winner of the Rose Bowl game was considered the National Champion of college football during that Era.
Every one of our Rose Bowl Championships are legitimate claims to national titles.

This is legitimate statement since LSU won the Rose Bowl of basketball in 1935, the NCAA tournament started in 1936. And since LSU is the 1935 National Champion of Basketball, Bama has every right to claim what they want.
LSU has national championships in Football, Basketball, and Baseball.
