Also, in 1966, Bama was undefeated and destroyed Nebraska in the Orange bowl. Notre Dame was voted 1 that year after they tied Mich. State. Notre Dame didn't go to a bowl and Alabama ended the year 3 behind two teams with a tie on their record, while Alabama had a perfect record. Many people will point out that Alabama was lucky or non-deserving in either 64/65, but I have never seen anyone point out that the 66 NC was clearly Bama's but was given to ND.
And again, in 1977, the Tide was ranked 3 going into the bowls when both the 1 and 2 teams lost. Surprisingly, ND was awarded the NC by jumping from 5 to 1. Again, the ND/Northern bias took away at least a share of a well-deserved NC for the Tide.
Also, Bama was awarded the NC by Football Research in 77, but the University does not currently choose to claim this title. In addition to the 45, 66 and 77 seasons, Alabama also received championship consideration by several systems during the 36, 37, 62, 74, and 75 seasons of which the University does not currently claim.
My point is, we can certainly claim the 13 when we are obviously being modest about what we do choose to claim. Bitch about it all you want, and be a jealous loser all you want, but the fact is Bama over the course of history is the BEST team that has ever taken the field of college football, and they have the championships to prove it. Get over it!
Are we assuming that Les Miles even knows who the starters are?
, LSU has a great shot at winning B2B National Championships

This will be a common sentence from here till game time, and the reason is plan to see...
Because people who like LSU know it's one hell of a chance Alabama wins the NCG.
Would'nt <> Should'nt <> Why <> Damn It <> C'mon Man <> Screwed up system <> Didn't win their conference <> They get to set while LSU players counld get hurt in another game <> On and On.
But there's two thing's you will not see.
It was okay that LSU played the NCG with a 2 lost season.
If LSU was in the same boat as Alabama they would not care as long as they get a rematch in a NCG.
So deal with it, the Alabama Crimson Tide is coming to town,right after Santa Claus...
