With the amount of debate here it is pretty easy to see why you may not want to claim those titles. The basis for said claim is a shaky. I'm fine not being like Bama and claiming all those titles plus Lance Armstrong's titles as well as every Yankee World Series title.

Sounds like that's the basis for not wanting to claim it, which is childish.
The feeling I keep getting is that acknowledging this title would be akin to making it up. That's not the case. It's not like LSU went 7-3 and one day some doofus with a computer decided: "Hey Let's give LSU an extra Title!" and everyone jumped on board.
No, LSU went 10-0, they didn't just beat everyone, they decimated everyone. They won all 10 games by an average score of 44-1. That's unheard of. To this day, that 1908 team still holds several records including most ppg. To ignore them is a disservice to LSU.
Ignore the title if you like, but to do so on the basis I've seen here is beyond childish. Acknowledging this title should have nothing to do with Alabama. Stop letting them control your every thought.
1908 was more than earned and deserves a spot on the southern scoreboard of Tiger Stadium.
