If that's the case, Alabama can't claim 2009 or 2011. They were on probation.

We weren't banned from post-season play though. Auburn was in 1958 AND 1957 (national championship year).

Can you point me to the link where I can read this info?
TIA

Just like the other thread, it doesn't meet bama's qualifications for auburns title claims.

as does Texas with their 1969 "title".
How did Texas enter this conversation?

You guys really do have a tendency for putting words in my mouth. The poster at the very top of the page said we can't claim 2011 and 2012 because we were on probation. I simply responded by reminding him that Auburn was banned from post-season play in 1957 and 1958. Where did I say Auburn can't claim '57 as a result? Bowl games didn't even count toward the season back then so it didn't matter anyway.

I'm not sure how y'all got the 1957 AP Trophy
we're Auburn, we obviously stole it.
Also if Auburn isn't the 1958 champ then neither is LSU.
Iowa is the real 1958 national champion by Bama standards. They won the Rose Bowl and were voted FWAA national champs
