1966 & 1977 (which is fair),
Why is 66 and 77 fair?

1966 should need no explanation.
1977 is more subjective, but then again, for those who don't like the idea of Bama claiming a '77 title over Notre Dame, at least they have a major poll ranking them #1 from 1973.

FWIW, here are a couple of funny scores from 1977...
Sept. 17, Ole Miss (5-6) 20, Notre Dame (11-1) 13 (in Jackson) LINK
Sept. 10, Alabama (11-1) 34, Ole Miss (5-6) 13 (in Birmingham) LINK
By the way, Alabama's loss was 24-31 to a (9-3) Nebraska team in Lincoln. It also occurred on Sept. 17. It was a judgment call for the polls, but I see how Bama could legitimately claim that year similar to the way Ole Miss claims 1960 & 1962, and programs like Georgia & Tennessee claim NCs that are far worse.
