So you point to other meaningless groups designating you the champion to defend meaningless groups designating you the champion. Yeah, not exactly the track I would take.
In related news, Mississippi State has just been name national champion for the years 1900-2008 by the NFFC(Nova Football Foundation of Camaro5.com). We don't claim all 108 of them but we could if we wanted to. EAT THAT BITCHES! We're now the most storied college football team in history
Its just ridiculous picking random orgs with completely arbitrary ways of selecting the chamption after the fact to point to and say "See, were were the CHAMPS!" If its not the AP or the BCS, its BS and even the BCS has more than its fair share of BS.
IMO Bama has strong enough and proud enough football tradition, without talking about those idiotic championships given after the fact by random groups. I'd be extremely happy in MSU had half the legit one's regardless of the goofball ones.
It blows my mind so many Bama fans feel the need to stroke the collective ego with the 12 Championships line.
