Has Alabama claimed a national championship they didn't win on the field since the Bowl Coalition was implemented in 1992? If so....I will gladly say we shouldn't claim it.

What about going from 6 to 11 after Bryant retired? I know Alabama wasn't the first and there are plenty of other programs with questionable claims too but c'mon, brah.

Wrong. All schools claim national championships based on some other body awarding it to them. No major (or minor) organization in America will declare UCF "national champions"

This is them just making it up completely on their own.

Also, no team has claimed a national title outside the AP/Coaches poll for almost 40 years now.

What about them? Other than ‘41, can you find a problem with the other four we claim, especially when you consider there was no universally accepted system in place to award titles in those days?

So why is Alabama the only program that gets called out? Tennessee’s claim to ‘67 is far worse than our claim to ‘41, yet no one talks about that.

This doesn’t surprise me,Disney gave UCF a parade after the 2013 season when they beat Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl.

What better place for the flakes of UCF to have their parade. The one place that declares everyone is special. Maybe Mickey Mouse will hand out participation trophies to all of the fans and declare them to be part of the national championship as well. Honestly, all of this is an obvious business move by UCF's AD and now, Disney (although -- I feel like the city wouldn't allow them to have a parade for an illegitimate claim).


Still more legitimate than most of Alabama's "titles" The last fan base that should be talking shite about false claims are you dumbass gumps

Other than 1941, I’d love to see your arguments against the other 15 we claim.

11 of the 16 we claim were won in the so-called Poll Era. Those are about as legitimate as they come.

So UCF postponed a scheduled game with Texas and outright refused to reschedule Georgia Tech (can't use the conference title game as an excuse since Navy did it last year) but now they want Alabama and/or Georgia.

I give UTjr fans shite about it all the time. I don't see how it's "far worse" than you claiming 41 though since they at least won the SEC.
Does anyone else claim a title when they were 3rd in their conference, lost 2 games, and finished #20 in the only major poll?

Since the Coaches Poll began in 1950?

Zero.


They claim one in 1964 when they went 10-1, losing to Texas in the Orange Bowl. Arkansas went 11-0, beating Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl, and beating Texas earlier that year.

So fitting since this is the plaque outside as you enter the Magic Kingdom.

I looked at UCF's schedule, and you just can't add them to the playoffs with that resume with it being only 4 teams. I am not advocating we increase to 8 btw.

Sure you could add them. Committee chose not to for the sake of big name programs

That's not UCFs fault
