Here you go. 1913 AU. First southern team to ever win a NC.

quote:

The 1913 Auburn Tigers football team represented Auburn University in the 1913 college football season. The team was coached by Mike Donahue and was undefeated at 8–0, outscoring opponents 224–13. Auburn, led by senior captain Kirk Newell, was the champion of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

The Tigers were retroactively awarded a national title by several computer rating systems
, including the College Football Research Center which is a component of the BCS, the current system to determine the national champion).[1]
