NCAA link Not the biggest fan of this, but it's substantiated. Pages 76, 78, and 79. Thanks to ellitor on the AU board.


Those pages you cited give Alabama credit for 19. That is a very loose list

Incorrect. The NCAA did not "claim" titles in Auburn's name. It listed who the selectors voted natty champion.

One might say, they are "recognizing" them.


So then Alabama is a legitimate 1941 national champion. Also congrats to Nebraska for also winning the 1983 national championship

Yeah, at some point, a higher standard needs to be implemented for claiming past titles. Hell, Utah and Boise State could claim some NC if going undefeated was the only prerequisite

It's hilarious.

But I'll still begin claiming Auburn as 5 time champions. Because that's the only fair thing to do, in my opinion. Claim what the school claims. No more, no less.

Sweet, we picked up 4 additional titles according to the NCAA.

Auburn picks up 3 more, Alabama picks up 4 more.

How many did all the other SEC teams pick up today?

Definitely.

'Bama fans just mad at the NCAA definition of recognizing champs all of a sudden...

quote:

National Champion Major Selectors (1869 to Present)
The criteria for being included in this historical list of poll selectors is that the poll be national in scope, either through distribution in newspaper, television, radio and/or computer online. The list includes both former selectors, who were instrumental in the sport of college football, and selectors presently among the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) selectors.

You have to understand their rules. If its about Auburn its whichever has Auburn looking the worst and when its about Bama its whichever makes them look best. They've gotten so bad that they don't even care how stupid their double standard makes them look anymore.
