Georgia vs. Alabama

I notice Bama claims the 1964 NC. We beat them in Orange Bowl that year. We lost to piggy by one that year when DKR went for two & missed. Arky was the true NC in 64. I guess what ever poll they're basing their natty on didn't count Bowl games.
 
That video... I’ve been there. GA 1983. Bama at the Rose Bowl in 2010. (Those idiot Bama fans drove me crazy and I might have uttered a few choice expletives during the game.) Tech last fall...

Of course, I’m much more...mature now. Plus, replacing doors and lamps can get pretty expensive.
 
Bama claims a NC for every poll or "selector" that ever named them. There have been lots and lots of polls. Using Bama's philosophy, we could claim 1914, 1941, 1968, 1977, and 1981. In fact, Wikipedia shows us with 9 NCs.

This is the method aggy used to go back and claim 1919 and 1927, which is probably what Joe Fan was talking about (instead of 1939).
 
Bama does claim several bogus championships, but they were both AP and Coaches Poll #1 in 1964, so that's not one of them. Bowls were still just considered exhibitions back then.
