AU did not claim them, they merely said they were selected by an organization

They just want to claim more titles to make it look like they haven't been Alabama's little bitch for 100 years.

Thank you for your outreach. Information shared across social media platforms is often inaccurate or incomplete. To the subject of National Champions, the NCAA record book has Auburn documented as National Champions in 2010, 1993, 1983, 1957 and 1913 (Source: NCAA Record Book). While Auburn does not currently formally recognize additional national champions other than 1957 and 2010, the subject of doing so is still open for consideration and discussion among the Auburn Family regarding how we choose to recognize the great accomplishments of our student athletes. That being said, Auburn will never claim anything we did not earn. To that, the discussion is based solely on how to formally acknowledge the honor and National Champion distinction that has been previously documented and bestowed upon these teams in the NCAA Record Book.
War Eagle and God Bless,
Jay

If other schools are counting championships a certain way, then we should count that same exact way."
Except literally no one else does what they're talking about doing.

In a debate that has raged since January, the school could be close to deciding whether to claim national titles in 1910, 1913, 1914, 1983, 1993 and 2004 in the next several weeks, athletics director Jay Jacobs told AL.com on Thursday.

gotcha...so no, you just don't like that there is consideration being given to doing it.
Sometimes i'm glad i don't give a shite about a lot of things. That seems tiring.

I think his point is, based on Jay Jacobs email none of those years would be claimed
