but we were legitimately awarded the NC by the major organizations for that time.
Eh, not so much. The word "retroactive" comes to mind.
And if Auburn decided to claim titles like that, we'd have a few back then as well. However, we opted not to because it's pretty damn tacky IMO.

I wasn't alive back then and I don't know the complete history but I do know that we were awarded by certain organizations for our undefeated seasons and Rose Bowl victories. It may not be popular with opposing fans because we're hated by pretty much everybody but it's not our fault Bama had great years back then and put southern football on the map.
There are also years that we went unefeated and got the shaft. 1966 comes to mind.
