Because we own the college football world and we fricking can.
We'll claim 2003 and 2007 if we want to, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

It gave them more titles than Notre Dame at the time (shortly after Bryant retired). Why they went with 1941 over 1945 or 1966 is a mystery.

I dunno. It's embarrassing and gives credence to people questioning all the other ones, which are all much, much more legitimate, in the same way because of the total jackleg reasoning behind this one.
I hate it.

That year was our participation trophy combined with a Life Champion trophy =

Its sad...Auburn doesn't claim 1914 but that year was unique like any other year. Auburn won or tied each game they played and the opponent scored zero pts. If Auburn claimed titles the bama does we would have more than 2 at least 5.
Everytime I hear a bama fan say "we have 16 titles" it disgusts me.

We were shafted in '45, '66 and '77. Those last two would have both been involved in three-peats.

That one has been the source of the bogus title claims against Bama even though other SEC teams have more bogus claims than Bama. I wish they would remove that one.

It was a marketing ploy put together in the late 80's. 1941 was a team that some unknown service claimed to be #1. To be honest, I would rather that one die away! I wouldn't complain AT ALL!!!

I don't claim 41. And I agree that it reduces the legitimacy and value of the other titles to throw in a ridiculous one like '41. When I was growing up as an Alabama fan in the 90's and mid 2000's, we were all a lot like current Tennessee or Nebraska fans. Our actual team sucked so much that our pride came from trying to prop up our past into something even greater than it was. We started playing Bear Bryant video's before games and wearing shirts obsessing over having 12 titles because there wasn't shite else to celebrate. That's why UT tries to trot out Peyton Manning at every game they can get him to come to.

It's dumb to claim 1941, but for some reason we don't claim 1966. Bama won back to back in 1964 & 1965, then went undefeated in 1966, yet don't claim that title.
It's a wash. One cancels out the other basically.

Really, is that all you can think of to worry about today?

It was war time. Things were scary and confusing, and sometimes choices have to be made that won't make sense to us coddled children of the new millennium.

LOL at all these southern teams picking at each other for a practice that started in the 80s by NOTRE DAME!

They accept national championships awarded by Tuscaloosa laundromats

get in line your arse whooping will get here soon enough, right now it's A&M time...

Go ahead and swap the 1941 for the 1966 title...that'd be ok.
