The BamaNecks Going for a Record Number 9

Going for a record 9th National Title. That is real titles (AP, UPI, Coaches, BCS) and not the alphabet they take credit for. 9 is unbelievable. But to those necks making up all those titles be very careful and keep the head on a swivel cause the Honey Badger will not let that happen. Bank it.

Thanks for the Props DV! 

Here is a really good rundown for you haters...enjoy-

Basically any pre-ap (pre-1936) is what I consider a Rose Bowl NC. There was only one bowl, the Rose, and every team that won the Rose Bowl before the AP poll started claims it as a NC. This includes ND, USC, Mich, OSU, etc., so that's 4 for Bama (1925, 26, 30, 34). All were undefeated going into the rose bowl, and only 1 didn’t win, the 26 team tied Stanford 7-7 (who, if I’m not mistaken, also claims that year as NC).

I'll go year by year from here on, as they all have unique characteristics.

1941 ? Joke, no way around it. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. Lost 2, didn’t win sec, didn’t finish in top 20 in AP poll. Really don’t like this one and it’s what subjects us to the bogus title perceptions.

1961 - Undefeated, won bowl, crowned both AP and Coaches. No one can argue this one.

1964 - Undefeated going into bowl, lost to Arky in bowl game. Won both AP and Coaches polls again, but they were pre-bowl. This is simply how it was done then, and other teams have won and claim NC’s when they lost bowls in this time period (includes Texas, Tenn, OU, MSU, and some others), so this is legit. Also, consider that every team that has won a Coaches or AP poll claims it, bowl win or not (ND), and it strengthens it.

1965 - Finished 9-1-1, won bowl. This year, the AP decided to do poll after bowls. Everyone in front of Bama lost their bowl, and Bama was next in line. So AP votes bama #1. Legit.

This is where I'd put a "what if" scenario type thing, but I'll save it for the end, since there are multiple years (45, 66, and 77) with what if things.

1973 - Undefeated regular season, lost bowl to ND. Voted, pre-bowl, coaches poll NC. This one is harder than the others to call legit, since the AP had been doing post-bowl for several years now. But, again, everyone who has ever won a Coaches or AP poll claims it, so this one is ok. That’s the weakest one so far, besides ‘41.

1978 - 11-1, won bowl. Won AP poll, lost in regular season to USC, who won the coaches. USC lost a game late in the year, which allowed Bama to jump them. This happens all the time, and still does. It’s a true split, IMO, and a legit claim by Bama.

1979 - 12-0, won bowl. Won both polls, no arguments. Legit.

1992 - 13-0, won bowl and both polls. Legit.

2009 - 14-0, won bowl and all polls. Legit.

Now, for the what if's:

In 45, Army won it, and rightly so. But Bama was also undefeated, beating USC soundly in the rose bowl. However, Army won the AP (no coaches yet, 1950). Bama doesn’t claim it, and the one who does has a legit claim, so it's hard to argue, but it should be mentioned.

1966 - Bama was 2 time defending NC, started preseason #1 in both polls, went undefeated and untied (1 of only 2 teams in nation to do so, San Diego St was the other), won their bowl game over a top 5 team, and didn’t win the NC. That’s the only time in history that had happened. ND won both polls, after playing to a tie with Mich St (in a weak way, I might add, but that's another story). MSU finished 2nd, Bama 3rd. Bama played more teams with winning records (6) than either ND (4) or MSU (2). Bama should have been awarded this NC and, IMO, should claim it. But it's hard to without either major poll. This should be legit, and the 1st and only 3-peat. ND fans should be the ones catching hell over this and it’s pathetic that they even try to claim it.

1977 - Little harder to justify, but there should be some sort of claim. 1 loss. won bowl, and was #3 headed into bowls. #1 and #2 lost, we beat #8 team, #4 lost, and #5 ND beat #1 Texas. ND won the polls. Like I said, hard to justify, but there is some merit there. Could be split, but it is what it is, and ND should claim it.

Finally, since the polls are so funky and quirky, there is a simpler way to see who has accomplished greatness the most without subjective opinions…undefeated and untied, bowl champions. For the big ten and ND people who will argue with this, I have something for them, as well.

Bama now has 9 undefeated, untied, bowl champion teams. (25, 30, 34, 45, 61, 66, 79, 92, 09)

#2 on the list is PSU with 5 undefeated, untied, bowl champion teams.

#3 & 4 is Nebraska and USC with 4 each.

#5 is a jumble of OSU, ND, Texas, OU, Miami and an outlier in Toledo

Now, about the Big Ten and ND, they didn’t go bowling for several years during the first half century. The Big Ten only allowed 1 team per year, and not on consecutive years. ND just didn’t because school policy (lol). However, during that time frame (ND I’m being extremely generous here in assuming this), let’s assume that they would have won their bowl for every year that they finished the regular season undefeated and untied, and only considering ND and OSU, since those are the only 2 that come even remotely close.

OSU would be the same, since they didn’t have any years in which they went undefeated and untied in regular season and didn’t go bowling (years are 46-75 that the Big Ten didn’t allow more than 1, non-consecutive bowl team)

ND would be 7 (+4) (the years they didn’t go bowling is from 25-70)

So Bama is still on top here, regardless. Simply put, Bama has done more than anyone where it counts: on the field.

The HOF Nick Saban has now won 3 BCS titles in 10 years. No other coach in history can claim that.Nick and Bama schooled the "fat hat" and the Frito Bandito wannabe from UT in the game that really counted.

BCS>SEC title. So much for being burnt out. I hope Davagina bet his 401K again. Suck it you sorry hater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That goes for all you Bama haters.


 

Bama's gonna hafta get a new trophy case. Running out of room for all that crystal. The state of Bama owns the BCS 3 years running.

Bama went right at his punk and he was a non factor just like Davols and his fatass idol Fulmer. Bama shut the corndogs out and their stupid fans(bandwagon) up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another of Davols fables gone wrong. I wouldn't want him to pick lottery #'s for me.

Good news. No suicides or murders in Bama Neck as they got that Big Number 9 National Titles. LSU had a better resume and should have made it a split title. No doubt. Now crawl back into your trailer parks and start screaming Bear who!!!!

LSU crossed the fifty once and scored no points.Obviously someone didn't tell their"resume" to suit up for the game.

Guess the Patriots should've split the superbowl with the Giants. They clearly had the better resume.

Now go crawl back in your irrelevant HOFers .

BREAKING NEWS FROM NEW ORLEANS:

LSU's team is still there. They all filed in the bus to go home, but couldn't move. Seems someone painted a 50-yard line in front of the bus and they couldn't figure out how to get past it.
