As everyone who knows anything about historical college football knows, under bylaw 73c.1.3.3 of the NCAA's Pittsburgh Conference of 1908, public schools located in states that were reconstructed after the civil war can only be awarded National Championships in years when an elected reconstruction party (that is Republican) president is in office. As such, Auburn's five championships stand:
1913 - Taft
1957 - Eisenhower
1983 - Reagan
1993 - Bush
2004 - Bush
Initially, one would think Alabama has six championships:
1925 - Coolidge
1926 - Coolidge
1973 - Nixon
1975 - Ford
1977 - Ford
1992 - Bush
However, the wording is clear--elected reconstruction party. Neither Ford nor Coolidge were initially elected, and as a result, Alabama has only two national championships.
End of story.
