Auburn didn't play in or win the NC in 1993 but it isn't their fault what the NCAA or the poll said about them
If they were ineligible, they can't win a NC. They were the best team that year, but going back and changing things is tedious. It makes it seem like Auburn is desperate. They are a good program coming off a great year. The uproar this is going to cause is not worth it. Auburn should just move on.

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

Thats just it, Auburn isn't claiming them. The NCAA and the "National Championship Foundation" is. Auburn didn't come out and push the NCAA to let them claim the titles or to put them #1 but people are trying to blame Auburn for what the poll and NCAA did.

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