I know you really don't know shite about them, so I'll school you on them this one time...
You can thank me later.
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.
The Associated Press Poll has been active since 1936. The AP took their final
poll prior to bowl games from 1936 ? 1964 and in 1966 and 1967. They took their
final poll after the bowl games in 1965 and from 1968 ? Current.
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!
1961 National Championship- Finally a legitimate NC. .
1964 National Championship- While the AP did award the NC to Bama (10-1-0),
Arkansas had the better record, 11-0. Alabama
played Texas in their bowl and LOST. The AP final
poll was before the bowl.
1965 National Championship- The AP gave this to Bama. That year there were
three teams with better records than Bama. Bama 9-1-1, Michigan St 10-1-0, Arkansas 10-1-0, Nebraska
10-1-0.
1973 National Championship- AP puts Bama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama
claims a NC from the UPI poll that was taken
before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and
lost. There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. The
embarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to name champions
after bowl games. Yet Bammer has no shame in claiming it of course.
1978 National Championship- AP gives this to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC
(12-1-0) had the better record Guess who Alabama lost to that year?
USC!!!!!!!!!. UPI gave the NC to USC.
1979 National Championship- Their second legitimate NC. Their first Unanimous
NC.
1992 National Championship- Their third legitimate NC. Their second Unanimous
NC.
2009 National Championship Their forth legit NC and third unanimous.
2011 National Championship They didn't even win their conference division....
You can see why people ridicule Bama fans when they talk about 14 NCs. The
early ones were awarded by individuals years after the games were played. These
weren't consensus polls but NCs awarded by people that had their own formula for
determining champions. Some NCs were given before bowl games that Bama lost.
Using Alabama logic, Auburn could claim 7 national championships. But when
Bammers brag they like to say they have fourteen and Auburn has one. How silly.
The NCAA recognizes 8 NCs for Bama and there are
only four NCs that Bama has unanimously. You can't find an Auburn site claiming
four national championships but there are plenty Bama sites claiming fourteen.
Debunking the Alabama National Championship myths.
