re: Alabama's claim to 15 National Championships DEBUNKED

quote:

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

Other teams claimed national titles on probation, but bammers are the only school who claims them when they finish in 3rd place in their own conference

If you dig into Auburn's 1957 probation, you will find it came about because bammer coaches and boosters were pathetic enough to hire private investigators to dig up dirt on Auburn. I believe Shug Jordan even covered this in his autobiography.

And then bammers are pathetic enough to cry about Tennessee and Auburn trying to get them on probation and think anybody else cares
