Are the Miami Hurricanes the best college football team ever?

k, I suppose I'm joining this thread kinda late, and I am a bit biased considering I attend UM... but even if you don't like us very much, give us just a little credit for our win against wake forest today :-D

No one gets credit for beating Wake Forest because they're Wake Forest.

If it was in basketball, then congratulations.

Fine. congrats....

Also, congratulations for losing to a team that had never beat a top 5 team ever during what AXEAM would call "another National chamPEONship year for the best college football program EVER".....

All I have to say is...12 National Championships, the most of any college football team...Roll Tide Roll!

The Tide will rise again, mark my words.

Yeah, he's such a sweet kid, and he's been pretty down in the dumps since he got hurt. We love you Brodie!

KS 361 times my favorite quote is, "The only place you can leave Bama for is Heaven" - Coach Fran

Hmm...pretty sure The Bear left A&M to come home to Bama, and pretty sure your player Stallings won us a National Championship.


Let's not even get started.

Pretty sure they both did.

So, are you givin us partial credit for the Stallings MNC?

And, while Bear did win championships for y'all, when he died, you know what ring he was wearing? Not any of his Bama MNC rings, a Junction Boys ring, given to him by the team from A&M.

But we won't get started, because i'm sure by the time Coach Fran is finished, we'll have closed that MNC margin.

Only at Bama do they claim this many championships. Most schools don't claim a NC when the Tuscaloosa High School paper has Bama as their end of season #1.

Here is the list of championships that the rest of the free world goes by:

Well Snake,

As you know by now, I have a son at Oklahoma and have met your AD and am good friends with your recently retired director of "The Pride" who is obviously one of O.U.'s biggest supporters.

I'm excited about Sooner football -- but I have to take issue with your list and your comment.

The list is of AP Champions. Which overlooks the fact that there were many years when the AP (Coach's as I recall) Poll and the other (Sportswriters & Broadcasters) Poll had separate champions at the end of the year. (It might have been the other way around -- AP being media, the other being coach's, I don't remember for sure. I just know that the coach's put a lot more confidence in their poll, until there was a split decision, and then suddenly the media was a lot smarter according to the coach who was number on on their list. Case in point, Bill McCartney at Colorado the year they split with Georgia Tech.)

Let alone this BCS nonsense.

The link that I posted earlier in this forum from the NCAA website does, in fact, indicate that Alabama has at least eleven, and possibly twelve National Championships. I don't quite know how to read the line where 'Bama is listed twice during the same year.

Here is the link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_D...tball_champions

Despite my somewhat newfound loyalty to the "younger" O.U., I have to go with the list from the NCAA rather than one from the Oklahoma website.

ETA: The link above doesn't now take me to the list -- so please try the one I posted on "page 2" of this forum. While they appear identical, one works for me and the other doesn't.

12. Count 'em.



A detailed account of each National Championship

[Kevin]

The NCAA actually doesn't recognize a football championship.

Here's another site saying they have 10.

(probably a little more accurate than wikipedia).

There are some "claimed NC's", such as the one in 1980 when Montgomery Full Season Championship proclaimed them national champions.

I'm not sure about the "12" number though, except from Wikipedia.

By some standards, Oklahoma also has 23 NC's

Anyhow, in the modern era, they have 6 -- largely owed to a Sigma Nu named Paul Bryant

USC has won 10 national championships in football: 1928-31-32-39-62-67-72-74-78-2003.

In 5 other years (1929-33-76-79-2002), the Trojans were picked by some as No. 1, but the selectors were deemed not all-encompassing enough to claim a legitimate national crown.
