re: Auburn is angling for Kiffin, but doesn't want to tip their hand too early

You claim one. In reality, there was no such thing as a Southern Conference Champion until after the SEC was formed in 1933. You went 6-0-1. The same season, Tennessee went 7-0-1.

No SEC team can claim a Southern Conference Championship. They were mythical when we were in that conference.

As are most national championships before the playoff era.

You can tweak the stats however you want, old ships count, old ships don't, "mythical" titles. The fact remains that Auburn is a blue blood" top 10-15 type team while OM isn't. Every Auburn coach before Harsin had an undefeated season, won a national championship, or played in one going back to the 80s.

That's half a century of success during which OM has 0 conference championships and only 1 division championship.
