If I’m ever the AD, someone would have to fight me to keep me from putting a banner in the stadium and claiming it in all our media guides.

If the Ad position ever goes to an elected office, that’s my platform. I guarantee you a football national championship because nobody is stopping me from claiming it.

Might as well add 1940 while you’re at it

Why don’t I see lil bro and their fake dunkle natty represented on the chart? Not that it matters, but they actually claim one, and we actually won one. It’s not our fault war was happening!

It's time to claim 1941. It will be cringy the first year, then everyone will start accecpting it. Should have done in 2020 when COVID had everyone's attention.
Directional DriveThru U in Florida claimed one. Why can’t we?

I know it’s would be like a bs title but tons of schools claim those. My question is did any publication name us champions? I know sps did but like in 1941?

1940 was a better year. Undefeated

Tied with Auburn.

State went 2 seasons undefeated in conference play (just the 1 tie) And I think the highest we were ranked was 9th.

National polls were political back then. Nobody respected us

I think an SID in the AD went back and reranked several years giving Bama several undeserved nattys. Now everyone recognizes those nattys. Just have Rosebowl or someother jabrone beat writer go back and rerank them and write an article about it.

The worst that could happen is the national media compares the MSU and Bama resumes and reaches the only logical conclusion.

What is crazy is BAMA claims 1941 as a Natty and we beat them 14-0 in Tuscaloosa that year and MSU was SEC Champs. Heck Vandy beat BAMA that year.
The very few knowledgable, non-mouth-breathing-trailer-dwellers over there acknowledge that '41 is a complete and utter joke. They justify keeping '41 on the list unless and until their athletic leadership swaps out '66 for '41. They legit won the title in '66 despite the northeastern corridor sportswriter bulls h i t.

1941, FTW!!
I knew we won the SEC in 1941, but didn't know it was a NC year. I imagine we would have been in the top 5 that year for sure. OM claims 3 NCs in football, but only one was reasonably legit, but in some ways, suspect.

Let's get behind this and get it done. We're about the only school that has been unaggressive about claiming a FB natty.

Exactly. We beat them head to head. We won the SEC that year. If they claim it, we can claim it and then punk them for claiming it. If anything, CZA needs to lead off SEC Media days with this and clearly state that MSU claims it.

Minnesota was the actual national champ. But a case could be made that we also deserve it. Bama doesn't in any way deserve it.

I believe that Minnesota was the actual AP voted NC in 1941 although we should claim it. We definitely have more of a claim than 20th ranked Alabama. When questioned their AD said they had a real good team in 1941 and both games that they lost were played in the rain. They felt like on a dry field they win against us and Vandy. Yes, that is a load of crap. Hang a banner!
