Isn't the title of this forum "7 National Titles"? [emoji16]
Well, yes it is. What the U claims, and what the rest of the world considers "Recognized Titles" might not match?
Not sure why they would claim the 1904 Title, vs the 1903 title? Michigan was named Natl Champs that year, and we tied them, otherwise going undefeated, so why not 1903?
1911 and 1915 are also years we were named National Champs, unofficially, non-recognized.
But my favorite team of all time, outside of our Title winning teams, is the 1914 squad, the infamous "Immortals". If not for frigging the Illini and their crafty new coach, a future Cfb HOFer, partly thanks to us, we would have easily have won the Title that year. Modern day cfb, having just 1 loss is no big deal, hell, I say we claim 1914 as a Natl Title year as well. Why not? We were otherwise clearly the best team in the nation. I mean, we garnered the coolest ever nickname, the Immortals, I mean, come on, that's even better than the 4 horsemen, because that was only 4 players, our nickname labeled the entire team.
