1918, 1957, 1983, 1993 & 2004

So, this year would be our 8th one!! And these Championships are as legit as ANY that OTHER schools near us have claimed.

logic? Isn't that an oxymoron, like "military intelligence" or "good-looking UGA co-ed"?

So, this year would be our 8th one!! And these Championships are as legit as ANY that OTHER schools near us have claimed.

While the older ones are based on the same retro-polls the bammers use to claim 600 championships, I would not claim championships (MNCs) for the ones from 1958 to now. The emrgence of the press and coach's polls over the last 50-60 years makes all the others just arguing points. If you're not the AP or ESPN (UPI) champion for any season since 1950 you are not a mythical national champion IMHO. And yes AU has been screwed an average of once a decade since 1957 but that's life, until a playoff crowns an actual champion.

The bottom line is claim one, two(my position 1913 & 1957), six, eight, whatever makes you feel good. But if you claim any of the non AP/UPI/ESPN after 1950 you should forfiet your right to make fun of bammer and their 12 mythical championships.

[BamaGrad03 146]

If we used the logic you guys used above...we would have 16 not 12.

Nice post. The AP/UPI/ESPN are the only polls that would matter to me anyways. Since I was born, Bama's only claimed one in '92 so it's really pointless for me to argue with anyone about MNC's.

And we would be lurking on the uat board in an attempt to latch on to their "glory" this season. On second thought, WHAT uat glory?

[mcgufcm 3,872]

10 are recognized by the ncaa. while still a coupla fists full, i've never really understood why folks persist on claiming 12.

and auburn has one maybe two titles; we also hold the record for most screw jobs (not a good thing in this case) for one school. i don't know of any other time when the number one and two teams lost the number three team won but didn't move to number one. heck, we didn't even move up one spot even after we'd beaten 4 top ten teams in our last 5 games. 1993 we screwed ourselves. this year is looking like the largest screw of them all. we'd be the first team in sec history to go unbeaten and not get a shot at the title.

I was lurking last year when your guys gloriously blew one of the most hyped seasons ever, so there goes your "And we would be lurking on the uat board in an attempt to latch on to their "glory" this season." logic.

6 are recognized by the AP/Coaches. That's really all that counts to most Non-UA people. That's all I would recognize.

[mcgufcm 3,872]

well there were ncaa recognized retro-polls. i have no problem accepting those despite the fact that someone had to award it after the fact. it's the extra two that blow my mind.

Even as bad as we played last year, I still have fond memories of the FIRST PLAY

of last year's Iron Bowl......Do you?

I can't blame you. If I were a fan of the smaller school in west al., I would be on the AU board too! ! !

LOL

uaters would recognize a poll from the "King Biscuit Power Hour" if it helped relieve the pain of the uat program of today!

Simply priceLESS ! ! !

It really is too hard for you to respond to a thread without turning it into smack isn't it.

Hard to keep the old "safety" "ON" when the target is SOOOOO large!

You have to excuse him. If he is the typical Alabama fan, he can't read very well.

[WarTim 3,293]

How funny is it that they "claim" '93 West?!

[Proud Tiger 4,261]

Why don't we just take a vote here and award the WEN NC to Auburn. That would carry as much weight as some of the NCs bama claims

[WarTim 3,293]

If we implimented the BCS way back in the day, neither Bama or Auburn would have any national titles.
