@BarrettSallee: Auburn official tells me AU formally recognizes two national titles (1957, 2010). The others are documented/open for formal consideration.

Wrong. Nebraska, Notre Dame and Florida State would have beaten Auburn that year by at least a touchdown.

No where in that statement does Auburn "claim" a title. They only made you aware of the NCAA's recognition of a title awarded to Auburn by another organization

The AP still selected Auburn in 57 and Oklahoma in 74.

I am sure it has been posted already, but the ncca does not recognize ANY football national championships, so auburn is pretty much pulling that out of their arse
