The 1957 NCAA University Division football season saw two different national champions. Auburn University was ranked first in the AP writers' poll taken at season's end, while Ohio State University was first in the UPI coaches' poll. Auburn was ineligible for a bowl game, however, having been placed on probation indefinitely by the Southeastern Conference, after having paid two high school players $500 apiece.

Wasn't bama's last 3 "awarded" while on probation?

LSU was on probation when they made the game in 2011. There is a difference in probation and post season ban. Auburn 1957 was not allowed to play a post season game.
