It is well recognized that the 1961 Alabama Crimson Tide football team was the best defensive team in college football history. Not only did the '61 Tide outscore opponents 297-25; they shut out six teams and never allowed more than 7 points in any game.
In 1957, AU shut out 6 teams and did not allow more than 7 points in any game either.

1957 Auburn was also on probation and couldn't go to a bowl. If the rules of today had been in place back then, the AP wouldn't have voted you national champions that year.
