AUBURN — The Auburn Tigers are officially five-time National Champions in football.

Yesterday morning, Auburn claimed two National Championships in football: 1957 and 2010. Now, the Tigers have claimed three additional years that the NCAA had already recognized them as the champion: 1913, 1983 and 1993.

The University did not release a statement about what led to the decision.

In 1913, Auburn went 8-0 and capped off the season with a 21-7 win over the Georgia Bulldogs.

1957 saw Auburn go 10-0 and pick up a 40-0 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide.

In 1983, Auburn, led by star running back Bo Jackson, went 11-1 and defeated the Michigan Wolverines 9-7 in the Sugar Bowl.

In 1993, Auburn went undefeated but not was not eligible for postseason play. The Tigers were the only major team in college football to finish with a perfect record.

In 2010, Auburn, led by star quarterback Cam Newton, went 14-0 and beat the Oregon Ducks 22-19 in the BCS National Championship Game.

Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is hopeful his team will be able to reclaim its place as an annual contender for the National Championship soon. Time will tell if the Tigers can achieve that during his tenure.

Do they have no shame or idea of reality? I know there is marketing your program but then there is just out rate fabrication.

Don’t we claim a few?

Look at the dates of those titles and look at which accredited members voted AU national champs.

Alabama has recognized, Auburn is claiming despite not being awarded. One of those claims they didn't play in the post season; couldn't. FSU won it outright. '83 is no better.

UCF has a better claim on the '17 title than Auburn has on these.

Dont see any difference than 41

And dont matter. So what
Just stops AUbies from screaming about bama claims. Tenn claimed a couple yhat were pretty far fetched

And right. About like UCFs

World keeps spinning

Ohhhhhh duh. Sorry I needed to pay better attention

 

[BAMAneck]

That would be stupid for them.

In none of those seasons were they listed as Co-Champions.

Wait 110 years to claim that one.

1983 played a top 5 team in Texas and got handled .

1993 I believe they were on probation and were ineligible .

Can’t be true.

Auburn web site reporting...

On retroactively claiming championships (or not)

We're confused.

But claiming 1993, '83 and '13 isn't for the Auburn fans of today; it's for the Auburn fans of the future, the next generation. Anyone born tomorrow who grows up bleeding orange and blue will always know their favorite college football team as a program that won five national championships before their birth. And for that fan, the three additional titles will be added ammunition for future debates on whatever social media platform or higher form of communication is prevalent in 2035.​

​

For any opposing fans snickering, and for any Auburn fans putting too much stock into three more claimed titles recognized by the NCAA, remember this: Gus Malzahn and co. have the program rolling. In the not-too-distant future, we'll be talking about more national championships claimed on the field.​

I don't care much for the '41 recognition either, but you have to admit that Houlgate was one of the most renown. And he put a ton of emphasis on what happened in the Bowl games in all seasons.

Minnesota played but three teams with a winning record and did not play in a Bowl. Bama played seven and boy did they play in a Bowl. Bama would have beaten the hell out of Minnesota and after they beat a$m in the Cotton Bowl Houlgate knew it and named Bama his NC. Texas A&M had lost but two games in the past three years. Both to Texas.

Recognized versus claimed. A HUGE difference.

What recognized, NCAA voting group voted Auburn #1 in '93?

 

[BAMAneck]

In none of those years were they recognized as co champs. So its a hard sell. IMO
