Talk:Auburn Tigers football

message: Each Southeastern Conference division can have more than one champion in a given year. The champion moniker is given to the team or teams with the best record. The conference then uses a tiebreaking formula to determine which team goes to the SEC Championship Game.
As of 2005, Auburn has been champion of the western division six times. They have won the tiebreaker to go to the SEC Championship three times.

thread_title: SEC Western Division Champions

message: This section needs to be deleted for several reasons.  1) The source link is dead.  2) The information contained in this paragraph concerns the USC football program, not Auburn's program.  3) Even if USC were forced to forfeit all games in which Reggie Bush played, it would mean that Oklahoma would be given credit for winning the BCS championship game, and therefore Oklahoma would be BCS national champions.  So while the forfeiture MIGHT give Auburn a larger claim to the 2004 title, it would not ACTUALLY give them the title, and therefore this would be opinion, not fact.

replies: text: Well this is long since removed but I just noticed this on the talk page. Anyway, at the time the article that was linked actually discussed Auburn as becoming the new BCS champion. It quoted some BCS representative who said they were discussing what would happen if Bush was in violation and USC had to forfeit the games. In the scenario the writer laid out, they said Auburn would be named the new #1 by the BCS (of the course the AP and everybody else are free to do what they want and were NOT discussed in the article). Anyway, I agree more with your argument, however, that it might give Auburn more of a claim but will not rewrite history. I personally don't think they are actually going to penalize USC because of the controversy that would ensue. It seems everybody wants to sweep that evidence under the rug...which is ironic considering Auburn's national championship history (see above). otduff (talk/contribs) 03:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

message: You need to clarify in the article what you mean by this.  Alabama has been to the SEC Championship Game more times than Auburn, and Alabama and LSU have both won more SEC Championships than Auburn since 1992.  If you mean Auburn has the best SEC record, then state it (Also, I would not say that that makes them Auburn the "most successful" SEC west team). CH52584 00:46, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I clarified for you to explain that Auburn has the highest winning percentage in SEC league play since the divisional realignment. I thought it was obvious since that section was discussion winning percentage within the SEC but hopefully the minor change I made clarified so this isn't questioned again. Of course, if you checked the source link it should have been obvious and you could have made the change instead of removing it completely. Hopefully this is no longer considered vague - if it is, post here as to what change you would make as I don't really know how to re-word beyond this. --otduff t/c 03:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Rivals.com has just put out their 2007 Freshman All-American team.  Lee Ziemba and Ryan Shoemaker were on the first team, and Zac Etheridge made the second team.  Is that the kind of thing that deserves a spot on the main football page, or should it just go on the 2007 season page?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.214.201.14 (talk) 16:34, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I am not sure what the author was going for, so I did not attempt to correct it, but this sentence in the Modern History section seems unwieldy.
"The Tigers seem to perform best when facing their greatest challenge as, in addition to the success on the road in the SEC, Auburn teams have won 12 of their last 23 matchups versus top-10 opponents."

message: When Auburn "claims" the 1913, 1983 and 1993 championships, are they putting up banners for them, or just mentioning them in media guides and web pages? If they don't put up signs, I believe the MO is to not treat them as claimed.
