Auburn claims 1958 national title despite LSU football finishing No. 1 in the AP Poll
LSU football won the national championship in 1958. Under head coach Paul Dietzel, the Tigers went 11-0 and finished No. 1 in the AP Poll. Now, Auburn is also claiming the 1958 championship. On Monday, Auburn announced its claim to seven more national championships: 1910, 1913, 1914, 1958, 1983, and 2004. Before the introduction of a national title game, national champions were debated. Usually, the team to finish atop the polls was crowned the champ, but with no official way to determine, there was room for debate, with multiple schools often claiming national titles. In 1958, Auburn finished No. 4 in the AP Poll, three spots behind LSU. Despite Auburn's claim, LSU is the 1958 national champion. According to Sports Reference Ratings, LSU's 1958 power rating was 21.50, over a touchdown better than Auburn at 14.05. LSU and Auburn had four common opponents in 1958: Kentucky, Florida, Mississippi State, and Alabama. LSU wins the battle there, too, with a better scoring margin vs. that group. Auburn's claim to a few of the newly minted national titles is fair, but 1958 belongs to Paul Dietzel and LSU.

Arizona State football's Jordyn Tyson earns USA TODAY Sports preseason honor
The preseason accolades continue to pour in for Arizona State junior wide receiver Jordyn Tyson. The latest recognition? Tyson has been named to the USA TODAY Sports preseason All-America second team. This comes on the heels of Tyson, who had 75 catches for 1,101 yards and 10 touchdowns before being injured late last season, being named to the Associated Press preseason All-America first team earlier this week. Tyson was one of three receivers selected to the AP All-American first team, joining Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith and Alabama's Ryan Williams. The USA TODAY Sports All-America first team only had two receivers: Smith and Williams. Clemson's Antonio Williams joined Tyson as the other wide receiver on the USA TODAY Sports second team.

Auburn claims 4 additional 'national championships' on its football resume
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn is claiming four additional football national titles and will call itself a nine-time champion moving forward. The Tigers, for decades, boasted titles in 1957 and 2010. They also claimed the 1913, 1983 and 1993 seasons as meeting national championship qualifications. Now, though, athletic director John Cohen is adding titles from 1910, 1914, 1958 and 2004 to the program's resume. It's laudable by some and laughable by others. 'For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program's storied history — choosing to recognize only Associated Press national championships,' Cohen told On3 for a story announcing the decision Tuesday. 'Starting this fall, we have made the decision to honor the accomplishments of our deserving student-athletes, coaches and teams from Auburn's proud history. 'Our visible national championship recognitions now align with the well-established standard used by the NCAA's official record book and our peers across the nation.' The Associated Press, which began handing out its annual national championship trophy in 1936, credits Auburn with two titles: 1957 and 2010. Banners recognizing those seasons hang inside Jordan-Hare Stadium. The other titles Auburn is claiming have varying degrees of validity. For example, the Bowl Championship Series existed in 2004, and the Tigers failed to make the title game. They finished 12-0 and third in the rankings behind undefeated USC and undefeated Oklahoma. Auburn finished second in the AP and the coaches' polls after the Trojans handled the Sooners in the title game. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.
