Overview

  • The newly acknowledged seasons are 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, 1993 and 2004, joining previously recognized 1957 and 2010.
  • Athletic director John Cohen said the change honors past teams and aligns Auburn’s visible records with practices reflected in the NCAA’s historical listings and peer programs.
  • Five of the seven added titles appear in the NCAA Football Record Book via recognized independent selectors, while others, including 2004, rely on alternate ratings such as Darryl Perry and GBE after USC’s BCS title was vacated.
  • Jordan-Hare Stadium signage reflecting the updated total begins going up today, and the school plans to invite and honor players from those teams during the upcoming season.
  • Auburn also updated its conference title count to 15 by reclaiming three SIAA-era championships, a step that has drawn immediate online debate and rivalry-driven commentary.
