WarTiger 3,928 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You talking about this page?? Never seen it applied to Auburn though.. They are the only fan base to my knowledge that "claims" fake championships... http://www.geocities.com/bafflemaster/nc.htm 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. From College Football Data Warehouse 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. Links: History of Polls Polling Systems 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. 1961 National Championship- Finally a legitimate NC. One poll didn't give it to Bama though. 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. 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. You can see why people ridicule Bama fans when they talk about 12 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 where given before bowl games that Bama lost. Using Alabama logic, Auburn could claim four national championships. But when Bammers brag they like to say they have twelve and Auburn has one. How silly. The NCAA recognizes 6 NCs for Bama and there are only two NCs that Bama has unanimously. You can't find an Auburn site claiming four national championships but there are plenty Bama sites claiming twelve. Debunking the Alabama National Championship myths. The rest of college football will continue to only acknowledge AP/UPI claims post World War II. LOL This is my favorite part. I'll bet this posters next post would somehow reference the 12 issue...LOL.... They have to be the most ignorant fan base of all time.... fake titles and all...

PING4AU 0 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I hate listening to the Bummers crap about 12 National Championships as much as you all do. I think that my hatred for all things Bummer supercedes most any hatred known to man (ok maybe I exaggerate a little, but not much). But they will refute our arguments by simply saying that the NCAA acknowledges all of these championships in its record book (which is true). I am not sure what is right and what is wrong, I am just glad that we don't have to live in the past to feel good about our team and entire program. I don't care how many NC's those classless idiots have. I don't care how many they claim. I just want our Auburn Tigers to make damn sure they dont ever win another. I wouldn't trade our 1 NC for their 12 EVER, because I would have to put on that dark pink on Saturday's instead of God's Favorite color's (Orange and Blue of course)! It's great to be an Auburn Tiger whether they have 12 or 1, doesn't matter to me. When they start that crap just smile and tell them the It's GREAT to be an Auburn Tiger! WDE!

PING4AU 0 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Ok maybe I used the wrong term when saying acknowledge/reckognize. What I was trying to say is that all of them are "listed" in the official NCAA record book. As I said, who cares. Let them live in the past and lets make sure they have no future by beating them every year, and handling our business in recruiting and on the field.

First BG show his inability to count(on another thread), and now you.... I mean come on now, even my 6 year old neice can tell which number is larger when put in front of her....6 is more than 5.... To make it easy for you, I've included a link. Hope that isn't to hard for you to get, lord knows with simple math you are in over your heads. I'll leave you with our word for the day...Addition...the process of combining numbers to get one larger number. Now, how will the bammer spin machine change this? It's always fun to watch you bammers try to spin something to go your way... For the bammers that can't count Now, to give you extra study time, tomorrows word is subtraction - the process of taking a large number and removing smaller numbers from it...let's use the number, oh, i don't know..how about 12, now lets take away a random number say 10 ( which happens to be the number of MNC's the bammers were awarded retroactively, or SHARED with other teams, or in the case of 1941, just plain made up) and we get 2... Hope that wasn't too fast for you bammers to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
