Auburn football, finally, will claim nine deserving and legitimate college football national championships, AuburnSports confirmed on Tuesday.

When reached for comment, athletic director John Cohen offered this explanation of the school’s decision.

“For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program’s storied history – choosing to recognize only Associated Press National Championships. 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,” Cohen said. “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.”

Previously, there have been two AP national titles recognized inside Jordan-Hare Stadium (1957 and 2010) and three more national titles quietly noted in the football media guide (1913, 1983 and 1993).

Four more national titles will now be recognized.

Auburn’s official national titles will now be: 1910 (new), 1913, 1914 (new), 1957, 1958 (new), 1983, 1993, 2004 (new) and 2010.
