Haha, this is absurd. You just can't claim a national championship. It isn't something you can just make up and proclaim as a true title.
Well, that's how it was done for most of college football history. Alabama, among others, still claims various titles from years in which they weren't recognized by most as the champion.
But also, I kind of think this is less about a literal national title than making a statement about the system. I think what they're really saying is, we should have had a chance to compete for the title, and since you didn't give us the chance to prove that we are the best team, nobody can prove we aren't either.
In short, they're part honoring their team, part promoting the brand, and part trolling.
Personally I think it's great.
