As the reigning National Champion, Alabama Football sits atop the college football world. Every time the Alabama Crimson Tide wins another National Championships wails of displeasure can be heard across the nation. For some (perhaps most) college football fans, no Alabama Football achievement is credibly attained.
A few weeks back we discussed an idea to shut down the nonsense debate over claimed National Championships. The idea is for all programs to make a distinction between ‘awarded’ and ‘won’ National Championships and ‘claimed’ national titles. Valid or invalid claims by schools will not matter if a new standard of ‘awarded’ and ‘won’ is acknowledged.
