Auburn stakes claim to 1958 Hawkeye Championship









While the natties were decided by the polls, they were considered mythical national championships, so if Grandpa Jones released his final poll on Hee Haw and he claimed Whatsamatta U as #1, they'd be able to claim a championship.
I get how they came to have multiple champions. But to full out put your name in the record books and put signage up almost 70 years after the fact without solid proof is just ridiculous. How many times had Iowa gone undefeated? Start picking em up now.
 






We already have to argue with LSU fans.

I actually did some work on this topic several years ago. Iowa’s nattys were in 1921, 1922, 1956, 1958 and 1960. All legitimate.

The only other year where a claim could be made would be Iowa’s undefeated Big Ten champs in 1900.
