Ok, so to be fair:
Harvard was undefeated with nine wins ( a tie) and out scored its opponents 132 to 8.
This situation, with both LSU AND Harvard with undefeated records gives Alabama the perfectly reasonable argument that it should be named as Champion at 6-1-1.
Bama has made weaker arguments than this for Championships, which it now seeks to trace back to the Protestant Revolution.

One of Bama’s “18” championships is 1941.
Alabama finished the season 9-2 overall, 5–2 in the SEC and with a victory in the Cotton Bowl Classic over Texas A&M. They claim the national championship due to its selection as national champion by the Houlgate System.
The Houlgate System was a college football ranking method based on strength of schedule that was syndicated nationally in the 1930s through 1950s.
