Bogus 1964 Bama claim? There is an AP trophy and UPI Trophy sitting in Tuscaloosa. Bama didn’t go to the pawn shop to have those made.

Not many could claim "Reigning National Champion"
That's the coolest one, don't you think?

04 Auburn didn't play a single AQ OOC
In their defense, it wasn't that uncommon in those days.
Oklahoma didn't in 2000... Alabama didn't in 1992... etc.

actually, that's not what history says. history says those games were actually played and #1 USC beat #2 Oklahoma. What happened is the NCAA decided they wanted to erase history as punishment to USC. BTW, vacating a win is not the same as a forfeit. USC vacated the win. They didn't replace their win with a loss.

BUT I really feel Auburn SHOULD claim 1983 and 2004. Could say 1993 too...but not as much as the first 2.
If Alabama used the system everyone claims Alabama uses, Alabama could claim 30 titles.

We should claim 8... If you claim them, they are recognized... (1958 would make it 9....
The book that explains why Auburn University should claim a National Championship for the 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993, and 2004 seasons in addition to the 1957 and 2010 National Championships.
1910 – Led by head coach Mike Donahue (1904–1906, 1908–1922), the team went 6–1 while outscoring opponents 176–9.
1913 – Went 8–0, outscoring opponents 224–13. Champions of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
1914 – The Tigers finished as SIAA champions with a record of 8–0–1 , 5–0–1 in the SIAA. The Tigers didn’t let an opponent score score all season, 193–0. The 0-0 tie came against Georgia.
1983 – Finished the season with an 11–1 record and won their first SEC title since 1957. No. 1 Nebraska and No. 2 Texas lost their bowl games while No. 3 Auburn defeated No. 8 Michigan State in the Sugar Bowl. The No. 5 Miami Hurricanes, who knocked off Nebraska, jumped from 5th to claim the AP National Championship. The Tigers did finish ranked first in a few polls including the computer rankings utilized by The New York Times.
1993 – The only major college football team to finish the season undefeated with a record of 11–0. The Tigers were on NCAA probation though. In the fall of 1991 Eric Ramsey, a former Auburn defensive back, revealed taped conversations detailing how he received money from of the Auburn football program. The ban meant no TV, no SEC Championship and no bowl game. The National Champions Foundation recognized Auburn as one of its 1993 national champions.
2004 – Despite a 13–0 record which included the SEC title, the Tigers were left out of the BCS National Championship game. The BCS ranked Southern Cal and Oklahoma No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. Auburn settled for the Sugar Bowl and defeated No. 9 Virginia Tech. The Trojans had the national title vacated years later after an investigation concluded that running back Reggie Bush and his family obtained impermissible benefits.

"The book"
Y'all have 5 per the NCAA records book. Not even Alabama claims titles that aren't list in that.

Funny how you claim 1942 for UGA and keep ignoring my posts.

2004. Could say 1993 too
Did you win the BCS those years while no one was looking?
And not recognizing Auburn's 1913 team as National Champions is fricking ridiculous. They are certainly as legitimate as any other pre poll era team.

I guess you missed this part of his post...

Was Auburn severely under-served by the system? Absolutely. Were they a victim of a very unfair system? Absolutely. But regardless, Auburn did not win a National Championship in either 1983 or 2004. To claim you did would be an embarrassment.
This goes for Arkansas in '64.... Ole Miss in '63... and all the other bogus titles teams like Tennessee and Alabama claim.
I feel the same way about Georgia claiming the '42 title.
