Does Auburn have the right to claim additional national championships?
Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz and Caroline Fenton discuss if Auburn has a legitimate claim to the four additional national championships they recently added to their football resume. View more Video Transcript Auburn has officially claimed four more college football national championships, adding 1910, 1914, 1958, and 2004, wild to me. I'll use 2004 as a note because most of us listening and watching don't remember 1910, 1914, and probably 1958. But in 2004 it was a riveting year. I am the old person on this show. Uh, Auburn finished number two that year. They did not play in the BCS championship game, but they finished number two that year, but the number one title went to USC. Uh, that title was vacated by the NCAA because of the Reggie Bush situation, and all of a sudden you end up with Auburn saying, well, we finished number two, therefore we shall claim a title. I'm stunned, Caroline, to see this from a program like Auburn. Um, I actually recently just claimed a Miss America title and an Olympic gold medal. So that is how you may now introduce me every time we open up the show. Thank you so much. It was really so much hard work, and I'm really but that's how silly you sound, Auburn. And that's my biggest thing here: we are talking about Auburn football with a storied history, with a long history of greatness and championships, SEC championships. We are talking about one of the most reputable programs in the entire country. You're better than this. You are better, Auburn, than UCF-ing your way into more national championships. And of course I'm talking about UCF, who just claimed a national championship because they had an undefeated regular season but didn't get into the college football playoffs. Like these are make-believe fairy tale national championships. You don't get to just wake up one day and say, I feel like having four. More national championships today. That's not how this works. Now in 2004, obviously USC had to vacate that national championship. They beat Oklahoma in the national championship that year. But just because that win is vacated does not mean it's up for grabs. It doesn't mean that you can just say all of a sudden you want it. Uh, look, at the end of the day, Auburn has made themselves a laughingstock right now and if you're an Auburn fan, you can't even fight that. Like now you're in the same conversation as UCF. Good God. Like this is not, you can't give yourself a nickname in life. You, you're not allowed to give yourself a nickname. You can't walk into a gym, tell everybody, hey, I haven't decided what like people have to give you a nickname. You also can't give yourself a national championship. There is a process here if they really think because the title was vacated, that they should be named the champion, then I think they should go to the NCAA and see if the NCAA wanted to name them. If the NCAA had come out and said, you know what, because of the vacation of the 2004 national championship, we're going to, we're going to now give that to Auburn. Like in the Olympics, if somebody loses a gold, they have the right to go out and then give that gold to the silver. They could, they could do all these things. Fine. If the NCAA come out yesterday and said we're giving Auburn the 2004 NCAA championship, we would have laughed, but we would have laughed at the NCAA. Instead, we're laughing at Auburn, and this is the sort of thing you don't do when you're a serious. Close

Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold named to Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list
Jackson Arnold has been added to another preseason watch list. The 2025 Auburn Tigers have the talent to be a good team this season. This is especially the case when it comes to the offensive side of the football. Hugh Freeze and staff have assembled one of the best groups of receivers in college football. Additionally, the offensive line should be much better than it has been all season. With that said, the success of this offense will largely depend on quarterback Jackson Arnold. He does not have to be great, but just good, for this team to be successful. The talent is there for Arnold to succeed. That is why he has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list. This is an award given to the best offensive player in college football. It is also tied to being from the state of Texas. Arnold was one of the best high school football prospects to come out of the state. As part of the 2023 recruiting class, Arnold was rated as the No. 2 player in Texas by 247Sports before committing to Oklahoma. Nationally, he was rated as the No. 4 quarterback and No. 8 player. There was a lot of excitement for Arnold when the 2024 season started for the Sooners. He showed his potential in Oklahoma's Alamo Bowl loss to Arizona. In the 38-24 defeat, he threw for 361 yards and two touchdowns. Last season did not go well for Arnold, but that cannot all be placed on his shoulders. Due to the injuries at wide receiver and the lack of a good offensive line, he struggled. A fresh start at Auburn could result in Arnold showing the potential he had as a Texas high school football player.

Top 10 College Football Wide Receivers in 2025: Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Williams Lead List
College football has seen some of the most dominant offensive players over the last decade, with several quarterbacks and running backs coming to mind. However, the wide receiver position has been a supremely talented one in more recent years. From players like Travis Hunter at Colorado to Tetairoa McMillan at Arizona just this past season, there have been several future NFL superstars to emerge after dominating at the collegiate level. With so many incredible players at the position this year, FOX Sports Research ranked the top 10 wide receivers ahead of the 2025 season. Let's take a look: Tate has been a steady force in Ohio State's passing attack over his two seasons in Columbus. Just last season, the former five-star recruit totaled 52 receptions for 733 yards, 14.1 yards per reception and four touchdowns en route to helping the Buckeyes win the National Championship. After red-shirting in 2022 and receiving minimal reps in 2023, Boston came on the scene in a big way for the Huskies in 2024. He totaled 63 receptions for 834 yards, 13.2 yards per reception and a team-high nine touchdowns. With Giles Jackson off to the NFL, the 6-foot-4 Boston projects to be Washington's No. 1 receiver next season. Sarratt transferred from James Madison to Indiana for the 2024 season, following his head coach, Curt Cignetti, and several other James Madison teammates to Bloomington. After a standout 2023 season at James Madison, Sarrett picked up where he left off, totaling 53 receptions for 957 yards and eight touchdowns for Indiana in 2024; all three outputs led the Hoosiers, who finished 11-2 and earned a spot in the College Football Playoff. After getting minimal playing time in 2023, Lemon made the most of his prominent role in USC's offense in 2024. In a season that saw the Trojans switch quarterbacks, Lemon still managed to come down with 52 receptions for 764 yards (14.7 yards per reception) and three touchdowns. Lemon, a former five-star recruit, led USC in both receptions and receiving yards and projects to be its top receiver in 2025. Most freshman rarely, if ever, see the field, but Coleman went against the tide in his freshman season at Auburn in 2024. The former five-star recruit tallied 37 receptions for 598 yards at 16.2 yards per reception with eight touchdowns, serving as a bright spot in a dark 5-7 season for the Tigers. In the penultimate week of the regular season, Auburn upset then-No. 15 Texas A&M, with the 6-foot-3 Coleman reeling in seven receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the overtime win. Joining Coleman in Auburn's wide receiver room next season is Singleton, who spent the first two seasons of his collegiate career at Georgia Tech in 2023 and 2024. Across those two seasons, Singleton averaged 52 receptions for 734 yards and 4.5 touchdowns per season. Singleton has also provided a boost in the running game, as he got the call on the run 21 times for 131 yards and one touchdown in 2024. After a pair of effective 2022 and 2023 seasons, Williams emerged as an integral part of Clemson's offense in his junior season, reeling in 75 receptions for 904 yards and an ACC-high 11 touchdowns, with all three totals leading the Tigers in 2024. Williams also had seven carries for 101 yards and one touchdown. Williams broke the ice in Clemson's first-round playoff matchup against Texas, taking a Cade Klubnik pass 22 yards into the end zone for the game's first score. (Despite all that, the Longhorns went on to win the game.) Tyson's collegiate career has been a bumpy one, as a respectable 2022 campaign at Colorado was cut short by a knee injury. That injury then limited Tyson in his first season at Arizona State, with him not recording a reception in 2023. Then, he got back on the field and took over. In 2024, Tyson totaled 75 receptions for 1,101 yards (14.7 yards per reception) with 10 touchdowns, all three totals leading the Sun Devils in a season that saw them win the Big 12 and earn a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. Unfortunately, Tyson, who had five 100-yard performances, suffered a broken collarbone in the final week of the regular season, ending his junior campaign. Williams flashed speed in his 2024 freshman season at Alabama. One might say it looked like Dash from "The Incredibles" was lining up on the outside for the Crimson Tide. Williams racked up 48 receptions at 18 yards per for 865 yards and eight touchdowns, with the last two totals leading Alabama; he also logged two rushing scores. In fact, the first two catches of Williams' career were touchdowns, as he had two receptions for 139 yards and two scores in Week 1. One month later, he had six receptions for 177 yards and one score, a go-ahead, 75-yard touchdown with 2:18 remaining in the game, in Alabama's dramatic win over Georgia. There are great freshman seasons, and then there's what Smith did at Ohio State last year. In a campaign capped off by the Buckeyes winning the National Championship, Smith totaled 76 receptions for 1,315 yards – 17.3 yards per reception – and 15 touchdowns. Smith's yard and touchdown totals each led the Big Ten. Arguably, Smith's best performance came in Ohio State's quarterfinal round victory over Oregon in the College Football Playoff, as the star receiver totaled seven receptions for 187 yards and two scores. The No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2024 reeled in the most pivotal pass of the season for Ohio State, coming down with a 56-yard pass on third-and-11 at the two-minute warning of the National Championship, helping the Buckeyes get in position to later kick a field goal and go up two scores, which would be enough for them to finish off the victory. 2025 Heisman Trophy odds: Arch Manning, Texas: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)Garrett Nussmeier, LSU: +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total)Cade Klubnik, Clemson: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total)Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)Julian Sayin, Ohio State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)Drew Allar, Penn State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)DJ Lagway, Florida: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)Dante Moore, Oregon: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)John Mateer (Oklahoma): +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Sam Leavitt (Arizona State): +2800 (bet $10 to win $290 total)Carson Beck, Miami:+3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total) Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
