College football

[billy.pilgrim]

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but Auburn is considering a few championships themselves. Undefeated in 1993 and 2004 are possibilities to some.

"The National Championship Foundation was created in 1980 for the sole purpose of addressing the historical controversy of college football’s national champions. During its existence the NCF established a 13 member panel that investigated past seasons and retroactively named national champions for the years 1869 through 1979."

I'd go along with good look at the pre bcs championships being awarded if the reviever were credible. I don't know anything about this National Championship Review Board, but it could be a start to ripping some numbers off of the bammer jackets and magic from their recruiting.

Old quote - Jacob's is gone (he hired blufield)
"If other universities used the same overly strict standard of counting just A.P. Poll/Coaches Poll/BCS currently used by Auburn’s Athletic Department then Alabama would claim 10 instead of 15, the University of Michigan could claim just 2 instead of 11, the University of Pittsburgh could claim just 2 instead of 9, Ohio State University could claim just 5 instead of 7, the University of Tennessee could claim just 2 instead of 6, and the University of Mississippi could claim none, but claims 3 national championships. So when Auburn Athletic Director Jay Jacobs has talked about Auburn possibly beginning to count national championships in the same manner as peer institutions, he is correct that to this time Auburn has used a different standard. A stricter standard. "

I never knew about our 1913 and 14 teams

https://auburnsunclaimed.com/


Auburn "only allowed 13 points to opposing teams over a rugged 8-game S.I.A.A. schedule. However, the defense on the 1914 Tigers was even more dominant. Auburn was the only college football team that year to shut out EVERY opponent over a 9-game schedule."

Oregon State, Washington State file complaint against Pac-12

Their theory, which sounds plausible to uneducated me, is that they are now the only schools that may determine the Pac-12's future and divvy up its significant assets. If so, serves the greedy traitors right.

It sure wouldn't bother me, but who is playing Lafayette?

The meaningless difference between 7 votes and 3 votes may be why teams aren't really ranked after #25.

Their theory, which sounds plausible to uneducated me, is that they are now the only schools that may determine the Pac-12's future and divvy up its significant assets. If so, serves the greedy traitors right.

If it's not taken out of context, the by-laws seem pretty clear: "...which state that any notice of withdrawal from the league means a school "automatically cease(s) to be a member of the Pac-12 Board of Directors and shall cease to have the right to vote on any matter."

I suppose one could argue about the meaning of "automatically" or maybe about the effective date of a notice of withdrawal, but otherwise it looks like the Cougs and Beavers have a point.

That would be Duke, tomorrow at 3:00p

I agree, but we're only seeing the Oregon State and Washington State legal complaint. No rebuttal is presented in this article. Could they decide now that the Championship game will be Cougars vs Beavers? I wouldn't blame them a bit.

My bad, I didn't know that Lafayette is a school name - FCS, Easton, Pennsylvania. I wrongly assumed Louisiana Lafayette. IMO Duke should LOSE votes whatever happens in the game. At least Auburn and AL played FBS teams.

Ftr, now that my niece is a Duke grad, I'm less wedded to them. She's now postgrad at Cal. GO BEARS, shred visiting Tigers.
