If a program is on probation from a previous year finding and is having a national championship caliber season, I see nothing wrong.
Oklahoma was on major probation in 1973 and 1974 for an incident that was the result of the 1972 season. At the time, the AP didn't care. OU was the best team and only undefeated team in 1974 despite a bowl ban but ultimately won the AP.
Had the AP followed their same theme in 1993, Auburn and FSU are co-national champions. Wee
When you are the only undefeated team in a P5 conference pre-NC game era, you have a legit claim.
Doesn't said team still unfairly benefit, maybe even more so, from the transgression(s), a year or more after the occurance(s). Auburn, for example, claims a NC the year after Newton was recruited. And it was the only year that he was at Auburn.

It's this type of blind ignorance that makes this site such a gem. Kudos!

it's shady based on how it all went down, but it's not like Auburn went undefeated and finished #3 and claimed a national title. They don't claim it. They were crowned national champion by virtue of playing in and winning the BCSNCG. That's all the proof one needs to validate Auburn's 2010 national championship.

You don't have any place in any national championship discussions.
