People who try to say AU was not the true champ in 1983 are either ignorant or have an agenda.
I was going by memory. You said ignorant.

Please give the proper context. The one statement you linked where I didn't call someone stupid is linked to a statement about looking at Miami, Nebraska and Auburn's records blindly without the ability for human brand bias and it would be impossible not to award Auburn that championships. That isn't my thought or opinion its been argued by many for a long time. In the beauty contest awarding champions is in CFB Miami had the least to argue other than the beautiful story and narrative Howard had created in Miami and a town flush with cash to profit on if they were successful.

I am in my 40's, I can tell you are young or uninformed because when this all started you had never heard of the fact that titles were awarded by selectors. Just because the AP and UPI had the power to rise to the forefront as selectors doesn't mean the system wasn't broken. The history of the AP and UPI is littered with champions who don't deserve it but won them because the picking of champions wasn't about what happened on the field as much as what sold newspapers. Our good friends to west have a few legit claims on titles where they uncharacteristically found themselves on the short end of the money stick for the papers. IMO it is why they claim a couple of titles that are suspect...it keeps the balance.
