The school known as Auburn has not won in part or whole a National Championship in CFB. Alabama Polytechnic Institute won 1/2 of one in 1957 while on probation.
Hate to interrupt the flame train here but, it is still the same school. If Bama had a different name before the 1950's and won a championship (1/2 or whole) under that name can you honestly say that we would not claim it?
