No way Auburn looses to 1910 Harvard. Harvard wouldn't have scored on us. Only reason Auburn lost in Austin was the guys were out chasing skirts all night.
100 year old smack talk

Pretty good. I see you've imposed some hard line criteria - no love for Ole Miss 1959 or Auburn 1983. I am in agreement, though I think these teams should be remembered, as well.

Y'all didn't get any selections for 1910, 14, 58, and 2004.

Ole Miss only got 3 selections in 1959. Miami and Nebraska both had more selections than Auburn in 1983.

Nice troll, but Alabama was named national champions by both polls in 1964.
Arkansas has zero national championships.
Arkansas has zero national championships.

Fair enough. The really difficult part is the idea that those teams were probably the "best" teams of those years. Hence, my comment about remembering them.
But sometimes the best team doesn't win. I mean just look at 01/09.
Kidding.
