Under the Other Selectors section, you guys need to change the coach’s name of the 2014 Oregon Football team. Chip Kelly WASN’T the coach of the 2014 Oregon Ducks. Mark Helfrich was the coach. Mgm815 (talk) 06:43, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
Auburn championship claim update[edit]
Auburn Athletics recently claimed three more championships (1913, 1983, 1993) which is credited on their football team Wikipedia page but it is not reflected on the full list of team claims as they are still at 2. There was an article on it recently. 98.29.64.110 (talk) 08:38, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Also posted here in October 2023: Talk:Auburn Tigers football#Auburn claimed National Championships: 2 vs. 5
- There is a rumor sweeping blogs and twitter that the university has officially claimed the 3 additional years on their Auburn Football Tradition and History web page.
- The reality is that that webpage has been online in the same form since 2018 and is is no way a recent change to Auburn's claims. The 5 championship years still are always clearly attributed as sourced from the NCAA book:
- The NCAA Record Book lists Auburn as National Champions in 2010, 1993, 1983, 1957 and 1913.
- 2010 | 1993 | 1983 | 1957 | 1913 (Source: NCAA Record Book)
- Meanwhile, the athletic department constructed and maintains a giant sign on the side of Jordan-Hare Stadium, visible to the 88,043 fans attending each game:
- Auburn Tigers
National Champions
1957 2010
- Auburn Tigers
- This prominent display of the the 1957 AP Poll and 2010 BCS titles, and exclusion of the 1993, 1983, 1913 (as well as 1910 and 2004) titles, is the cited proof that Auburn University continues to claim only 1957 and 2010.

Historic occurrences addition?[edit]
Should 1940 (1941 Sugar Bowl) b/n Boston College and Tennessee be included? Yes, I know that Minnesota won the AP national title, but if we're going to include the 1985 Orange Bowl b/n Washington and Oklahoma, should this be added since there are WP:RS from 1940 billing the game as "national championship contest."[1][2][3] Oluwasegu (talk) 00:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
