Either you've badly miscounted, or you are actually one of "those people" who count the mythical championships of the early 20th century that were given out by random people. Sort of like a newspaper declaring someone their national champion. The military schools, and Ivy League schools were actually considered the dominant teams back then, and the southern schools almost never played them.

You could go undefeated, but if you weren't playing the power schools, it didn't mean much... Except that random outlets would declare teams (who hadn't played anyone) a national champion. Alabama chose to claim those. Other schools did not.

LSU could lay claim to some of those, but has refused to do so.
