and on top of that, the wrecking crew STUFFED bo at the cotton bowl that year LINK


Already discussed. Link already provided.

Also already noted Bo did have over 200 yards against the wrecking crew that day.

Sorta a testament to Bo's greatness that people brag about holding Bo to just over 200 yards in a game 27 years after it happened.

AU won the 1983 NC. 20 polling services named AU NC. Which was more than Miami FYI.

From the NCAA record book:

Sure it does. There is no official national champ in college football. We have polling services.

And in 1983, Auburn was the consensus national champion of the polling services.

Not to mention Auburn was deserving and Miami's claim is pretty much a joke.

Top 5 in 1983:

1. Auburn
2. Georgia
3. Texas
4. Florida
5. Miami
6. Nebraska


Miami would lose by double digits to #1-4.

They didn't win one of the 2 major polls,, so they didn't win the 'ship. Pretty simple.

So bama really doesn't have but 8 or 9 NCs?

It is a fact Auburn was the consensus national champion of the polls in 1983.

Pretty simple. DWI.

I think bama should only claim consensus NCs.

Maybe 7 of those? Not the most of any school?
