ALABAMA's REAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

1925 National Championship- Alabamaclaims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgateand Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925NC using a formula that didn't exist until 1927? Helms AthleticFoundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.

 

1926 National Championship- Alabamaclaims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or betterrecords! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 thatawards it!

 

1930 National Championship- The Davispoll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the onlyone to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! ParkeDavis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not anorganization) did his in 1933!

 

1934 National Championship- Alabamasays they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel,Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who cameup with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with hisown system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946!

 

1941 National Championship- This is acomplete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teamswith better records in the top 20. Once again it is the FootballThesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SECthat year.

 

1961 National Championship- Finally a legitimate NC. One poll didn't give it to Bama though.

 

1964 National Championship- While theAP 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 pollwas before the bowl.

.....

 

1965 National Championship- The AP gavethis to Bama. That year there were three teams with better records thanBama. Bama 9-1-1, Michigan St 10-1-0, Arkansas 10-1-0, Nebraska 10-1-0.

 

1973 National Championship- AP putsBama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama claims a NC from the UPI pollthat was taken before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and lost.There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. Theembarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to namechampions after bowl games.

 

1978 National Championship- AP givesthis to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC (12-1-0) had the better recordGuess who Alabama lost to that year? USC!!!!!!!!!. UPI gave the NC toUSC.

 

1979 National Championship- Their second legitimate NC. Their first Unanimous NC.

 

1992 National Championship- Their third legitimate NC. Their second Unanimous NC.
