Who cares who beat who in 1970?
Have you ever spent much time with a Bama fan? They count National Titles going all the way back to 1925, before national championships were even awarded by anyone.
In fact that is one benefit of them winning a title this year - you don't have to listen to them babble on and on about the 60 or so National Championships they claim Bama has won in the past.
Bama counts 1973 as an official NC even though they lost to ND in the Sugar Bowl in a battle of undefeateds.
Because UPI had their final polls before the bowl games. And Bama was #1 in the final UPI poll.
They probably have a banner in their athletic hall saying "1973 National Champions."
