I guess since we are on the topic of erroneously claiming stuff, I thought I'd bring my expertise as an Aggie. We've been doing this for decades!
Flat out, AP should be the only answer... but if 2 or more other publications give it to you, are you supposed to turn it down? I guess in Bama's situation in wouldn't matter much with the plethora since that time.
The only us Ags can really claim is 1939 (Insert the "it's been 84 years Titanic Gif Here).
But it would have been cool to have actually gotten the nod in 1917 and 1919. Not only did the Aggies go undefeated, they went unscored upon. 270-0 and 275-0 respectively. I believe Georgia Tech got the 1917 crown (with their 222-0 game mixed in) and Harvard got the 1919 crown.
