Overview

  • Auburn will now recognize national titles from 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993 and 2004, in addition to the previously acknowledged 1957 and 2010 seasons.
  • Athletic director John Cohen framed the move as honoring past teams while following standards used in the NCAA Football Record Book.
  • New signage reflecting the updated totals will begin going up at Jordan-Hare Stadium, and the university plans to honor players from the newly recognized teams.
  • The school also updated its conference championship count to 15 by reclaiming three titles from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association era.
  • Reaction was mixed across fan bases and media, with the undefeated 2004 team drawing special attention after USC’s title from that season was vacated.
