Ky claims 1950
OM claims 1960, 1962

Sagarin awarded it for 1950. Kentucky hasn't really claimed anything.

Yes Sagarin awarded it, but Kentucky officially recognizes it. Sort of like Bama in 41 and UT in 67. It's in the UK football media guide.

I heard that Bama claimed it since Bear Bryant was the coach at UK in 1950....

Ole Miss
Tennessee
who else?
This might be the first time I've seen a Miss St fan talk trash.

MSU has 2 problems. One it is in Starkville, an armpit of the South. Two, it is in Mississippi. Besides the coast, only Oxford holds any beauty in the state of Mississippi, IMO.
lol
That's rough.

Which teams have never won a National Championship in football?
Miss State
Vandy
Who else?
Also UK and SC.

I honestly don't know how the claimed NCs work, are they the Helms ones? What does the NCAA say, shouldn't that be the final word?

The NCAA doesn't award championships for FBS football. They do have a list of recognized titles out there, but it's as arguable as anything else.

1925
1926
1930
1934

point is there's more than just 1941.

Claiming those is no different than claiming an AP title. AP didn't exist prior to 1936. In the end, a selector awards a title to Team X. Team X chooses whether to claim that title or not. '50 UK is a bad claim. So are '41 Bama and '67 UT.

'50 UK is a bad claim, because the system that awarded it did not exist in 1950. Sagarin "awarded" it in the '90s, I think.

That's my criteria; the true champion(s) is whoever was crowned by the system(s) that was in place and recognized at the time.

Anything Bama or UT has first claimed years after the actual seasons are just as bogus as '50 UK. Or, was it '51 UK? Not sure.

On the other front, I guess Georgia's been to a Final Four. It must have been before my time.
