That's what is great about the Auburn fan calling out some of Alabama's poll titles that were awarded before bowl games, under the process at the time. AU's 1957 AP title was awarded to them when they were on a post-season ban.

Yeah, Auburn was on probation and couldn't go to a bowl game. The AP gave Auburn the title and UPI gave the title to Ohio State.

Gumps tend to struggle with reading comprehension I suppose. I consider a legit NC to be when you are the most deserving and best team in the country. AU was that in 1957.
