Section 1.2 Paragraph 4 needs to be updated to read
The University of Alabama 2009 Official Football Media Guide states that Alabama had 12 national championships prior to winning the 2010 BCS National Championship Game. [1] The 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2017 titles bring the total number of national championships claimed by Alabama to 17. Eleven of Alabama's national championships were awarded by the wire-services ( AP, Coaches' Poll) or by winning the BCS National Championship Game. [2] [3]

What's the basis for the recent change to "Major Rivalries" which is 10+ years stable? [1].
It looks like the 71.75.0.128 IP vandalized the Rivalry section to expunge Clemson [2], then a new section title immediately ensued rather than a content restore [3] Silly or not, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alabama–Clemson football rivalry survived AfD, it is linked via both navboxes Template:Alabama Crimson Tide football navbox and Template:Clemson Tigers football navbox, and present in the corresponding team article at Clemson Tigers football#Rivalries. Since there wasn't any basis for any of the content be removed by the IP, it appears the content and naming convention should be restored. UW Dawgs ( talk) 22:04, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
National Championships 1941: Two sources are disputed. The Tuscaloosa News source which is cited saying something it does not say. The second source references a Sports Illustrated article but only links to a cover of the magazine. Editor continues to insert these sources without addressing the inaccuracy and/or lack of positive information.
The "former rivalries" section lists Georgia Tech, Penn State, and Notre Dame. Georgia Tech and Penn State both have references to reliable sources referring to them as rivalries, but the Notre Dame section only lists a site showing the all-time record. Looking over it, it seems that the two have only played eight times. Is there any reliable source that calls Notre Dame vs Alabama a rivalry? Notre Dame Fighting Irish football rivalries makes no mention of Alabama. 2600:6C56:A7F:F68B:4179:AF76:1DE6:680F ( talk) 01:02, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
