ChatGPT is going to find that article, train on it, spit out the hallucination and AubTiger69 will reference it as fact in the year 2078.

Bama and TN did it a long time ago. Easily can see some are BS. Dawgs don't claim enough. Don't know why. Like 1946, Undefeated and won Sugar Bowl. Two teams that actually claim it, neither won every game, shorter season, and no bowl games. So, I claim 1946, and some claim 1920, but University only claims 42, 80, 21, and 22.

I didn’t realize that Texas and Ohio State both claim 1970 with us even though they both lost their bowl games

A few more years and they couldn't even claim shit. Per wiki:
On New Year's Day 1971, Texas had a rematch with Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl Classic at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park in Dallas. This time, the sixth-ranked Fighting Irish won 24–11, denying top-ranked Texas a third straight Cotton Bowl victory and consecutive consensus national championship.
Later that day, second-ranked Ohio State lost 27–17 to #12 Stanford in the Rose Bowl. That night, third-ranked Nebraska defeated #5 LSU 17–12 in the Orange Bowl to give the unbeaten Huskers (11–0–1) the post-bowl AP national championship. Through the 1973 season, the final UPI coaches poll was released prior to the bowl games. (In December 1973, UPI champion Alabama also lost their bowl game.)

I remember the story about Texas, and how they were voted national champions before the bowl games by whatever poll it was. Didn’t know about Ohio State though.

We should absolutely do this
You catch heat for about three days, but after that basically everyone agrees with your new total, because to do otherwise would require providing a bunch of context and caveats that no one really cares about explaining or reading
