Alabama Ties Notre Dame With Most National Titles In Poll Era

IIRC, we were ranked no. 1 for almost the entire 1975 season (why not, we were undefeated and had Archie Griffin and Pete Johnson as a one-two punch in the backfield) and then got beat by UCLA in the Rose Bowl (after murdering them out in the Coliseum during the regular season) and finished 11-1. The National Championship was completely mythical back then (even more so than now with the BCS) but I don’t think we ever actually finished no. 1 in any polls that were considered “real”. But by G*d we had some really good teams!

Notre Dame has brought the cruse of the Obambino upon itself when they had Obama speak and gave him an honorary JD. They will never win another championship again.

Alabama actually has 14 National Championships. You can find this years’ National Championship Trophies (i.e. AP and BCS) at Bama’s Bryant Museum.

This site is pure baloney. It counts any fly-by-night organization’s naming of a champion as the champion for a given year. For example, Notre Dame did not win the Title in 1993 and Michigan did not win the title in 1985. I could go on...

I am a huge Bama fan and I can tell you that they did not win the NC in 1975 ((I wish it were true). :)

The University's official count is 14 - the most of modern day powers. This leaves out the tons of NCs won by Yale and others before 1900.

I was fortunate to witness the only head to head National championship game the 1973 Sugar Bowl.
