Really, I cannot do justice to this... thing. You really need to click the link and behold it in a todo su gloria. Done? Amazing, isn't it? Now that you've recovered the ability of speech I assume you have a reaction because, boy oh boy, did I get a lot of responses on Twitter.
And, since things are a bit slow around here, I thought I'd let you all see what the reaction was after the jump...
Wow. Just Wow. RT @kleph: I cannot describe how bizarre this Alabama football-themed item is in 140 characters: goo.gl/hRCj9

all division one/FBS football national championships are "mythical"
the ncaa does not recognize a formal champion, it just posts the results of the primary evaluating agencies.
SB Nation's The Historical: Because all those games way back when matter.
Yeah I always thought we ought to claim like 18.
But even though the championship is mythical,that crystal football is for real.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
not exactly
the crystal football associated with the bcs championship is presented by the american football coaches’ association. it has become shorthand to describe the champion of the BCS but the award has been presented to each winner since 1986. moreover, the group has been selecting national champions since 1950 and three years ago trophies were presented to schools who won the award over the length of that span.
so alabama now has crystal footballs for: 1961, 1963, 1973 1979, 1992, 2099, 2011 and it isn’t difficult to spot a few years that cause a bit of debate included as well as omitted from that list.

And as soon as the NCAA can get their hands in the cookie jar
like they do with basketball and baseball, they’ll start crowning them. NCAA is that kid on the playground that upon getting left out of the game, goes home and pretends the game doesn’t exist.

Huh?
The “NCAA” is an association of member institutions. The institutions make more money (or at least they think they do) under the current format, which is why you haven’t seen a championship tourney to date. Who exactly are these folks you referenced that would purportedly like some cookies?

All NCAA College Football championships are 'mythical'...
…but all AP and BCS championships (among others) are real. After watching the NCAA at work the last couple of decades, I really don’t care what they recognize….

by NiceLittleSaturday on Feb 25, 2012 11:34 PM CST up reply actions
that's exactly my point
there is no single authoritative decider like there is in college basketball. the best we got is a group of selecting agencies that have varied dramatically over time. thus “mythical” is a reasonable descriptor for any team claiming the overall title.
that said, i agree with geauxcrimson’s other point — we don’t care what criteria you use, we still have more than you do.

If they're giving us...
…the trophy and the check that goes with it, call it whatever you like.
I don’t really have a problem with the three or four AP voters who chose Okie State for the top spot, but the guy who chose LSU must have lost his mind…or never, ever watched the actual BCSNCG. LSU at #1? Now that’s mythical….
