My only issue with ND claiming Consensus National Championships vs. other schools (namely Alabama) claiming every time someone in the media called them a National Champion, is that the media takes those numbers and gives them the same weight. It bothers me when some ESPN talking head mentions in the same sentence ND's 11 championships and Alabama's 16.

Agreed, ND should recognize 1919, 1920, 1953 ...

and arguably 1964 and 1989/1993. The NCAA credits ND w/ 13 (1919 and 1964) so I don't see harm in placing the number there at least. The absence of consensus is the reason we now have a playoff.
