Bama 16 titles...........Really?

Advertisement
Tons of schools have BS titles. It's kinda like Yale having all those titles. Nobody gives a ****. If it wasn't recognized by the AP and then the systems that followed, it doesn't count.
 
If someone labeled us champ in ancient times, we'd claim it. This topic, when it comes up, typically sounds like sour grapes. They're one of college football's tradition laden program, respect.
 
Look, not hating on the program; they're like the Boston Celtics. Most of those titles came when parity wasn't around. Can't take anything away from them. They're a historic program. Buuuuuuuut, F them!
 
I'm glad you created this thread because I was just going to do it. This is the main reason I don't like Alabama 16 titles really? At best this is like their 10 or 11 but definitely not 16. Back then they used to crown you national title before playing the title game. What a joke...

You better believe if we had titles in the 20's, or 30's, we're claiming those. If ur a champ, ur a champ...not taking that away from them.
 
Until a major media outlet puts five seconds into shamefully debunking this total, it'll seem reputable. IIRC, they count one awarded to them by Sears Electronics.

List I saw has them at 10 which was #1 . Notre Dame was second with 8.

Actually ESPN is doing a great job just putting the titles after 1936(AP era) so props to them for doing that. What's sucks is we could have been 2 if it wasn't for the titles lost in 86, 02, 94, and this is not including the one we should have played in 2000
 
at least they won't surpass Princeton or Yale for most titles won (in our lifetime at least).

Exactly. Im a Packers fan and we won 13 titles but "it doesnt count" because it was so long ago. FOH.

You're completely right. Dude is talking about claimed titles... Unless I'm mistaken Miami has 4 of them with one being an actual. Natty game. Love 'em or hate 'em you gotta respect 'em. They're what Miami could be if Miami cared about football

That's not the same. The reason they don't count those other 9 titles is because they were pre SB era. The only titles the nfl counts is SB titles, which was the championship game between the AFL and NFL
