Tennessee now claims 6 as well.  The entire time I lived in Knox, I never heard anyone claim more than the '51 and '98 championships.  I noticed it on the stadium wall the year my family and I moved back to Texas in 2017.  This would have been at the spring game.

Tennessee's 1967 title claim is underrated in its stupidity. Lost to UCLA during the regular season (the same UCLA that O.J. Simpson's USC squad famously defeated to rise to the No. 1 ranking and win the national championship) and then lost to blOU in the Sugar Bowl. Finished the season with a 9-2 record and solidly behind one-loss USC, Oklahoma and UCLA.

I've got to say, I'm loving this confident, disdainful fire spitting Satya. More of him, please.

I continue to be thankful the Texas admin is not so thin-skinned and insecure to have to claim fake titles. 

We won our 4 fair and square and were absolutely deserved.  We don't have to make them up because some obsolete magazine or totally gamed computer ranked us #1 eight decades ago. We have actual trophies. 

Same with fake conference championships - you know who you are.

Some schools have no shame.

But Texas had a brief brush with similar stupidity.

I recall during the Mack Brown years one time the official Texas football website had added a “South Division championship” to that season’s record. 
It didn’t take long for that embarassing idiocy to be noticed and ignominiously removed.

Seems like I vaguely recall seeing that and thinking what the fuck.

That was my recollection as well

It didn't last long but it was 100% us being (justifiably) mad that we beat OU and didn't get to go to the Big 12 CCG
