As a fast follow to this....

Their single (disputed) title is closer to pre-Civil War than it is to today.

Expand  

Their 1939 MNC is not really disputed. Of the 16 polling/formula/computer rankings, they won 13 of the 16 including AP and what would have been the coaches poll back then.

There are recent examples of computer/formula rankings that not to be taken seriously as well.

2006 Ohio State won a couple of those over Florida, a team it lost to in the championship game.

2011 OK. ST. also won one.

In similar circumstances I would have no problem claiming that. In a way, it is probably more legit than our 1970 mnc.

Right now they have no one to blame but themselves, which is perfect.

You know aggy? They are incapable of blaming themselves. It will always be the fault of someone else. It's why they will never be able to take that next step forward.

Well the good news is the next 20 years there were no 2 term presidents in the aggy reverse time horizon so they will collapse from POTUS 14 to POTUS 7 pretty quickly.  Once they hit Andrew Jackson it will be some tough mudding to get back to George Washington...

It is no such thing.

We were awarded our 1970 championship in exactly the manner championships were awarded at the time. The UPI always crowned champions before the bowls because bowls were only exhibition games at the time. The AP chose to award them after the bowl. Everyone played under the exact same system.

Expand  

I am aware of all that.  But, but I am confident had the UPI been around back then, they too would have "awarded" aggy the mnc prior to their bowl game, and then they won their bowl game and we did not and thus also garnered the AP mnc.

Winning the bowl is why the the 1969 and 1963 teams also garnered the AP title while the 1970 team shared it with Nebraska, which we would not have done had we won the bowl game.

Winning the bowl game is just better.  I can't believe I'm having to explain that.  I also can't believe I'm having to defend aggy 1939 mnc.  Crazy times.

Bullshit. Championships were awarded at the time. There were two different methods, and both were accepted as legitimate. Usually, the teams lined up. They did not always. It isn't like a computer championship that was awarded years later or an organization that did not exist at the time. 

Not all teams went to bowl games. There were very few. I can't believe I have to explain it to you, but some people are just rock-headed. Like that we won or don't. We won. The trophy is in the case. Fuck off.

I don't disagree, but winning both is better than winning just one.  We went to a bowl game and we lost and aggy went to a bowl game and won.

No kidding. And we still won a MNC (why that term exists) and the only one they won was in 1939. The system sucked, which is why everyone hated it but the Big 10 and Pac 12. We still won by the rules at the time.

1963 AP championship was awarded before the bowl game.  AP awarded championship prior to bowl game until 1968 except for 1965.

Is that aggy code for "a bunch of dudes banging Jimbo's wife, while he watches and masturbates in the closet?"  Either way, it should lift his spirits.
