Auburn is entering a crucial year under coach Hugh Freeze, as the Tigers are just 11-14 in Freeze’s first two years as the Auburn coach. The team has big expectations, and the Tigers have a big opportunity to make some noise in Week 1 with a road game at Baylor.
However, before that game, the Tigers announced on Tuesday they would be adding seven national championships in football.
Fans and media across the country are talking about that decision, with many of those opinions calling Auburn out for the decision:
Waking up to news that Auburn will now officially claim 9 National Championships ?? pic.twitter.com/RUThhjz50v
— Johnny’s Ready To Barn ?? (@jrptigers) August 19, 2025Following Auburn’s model, in 115 years, can we claim 2018 too? We had large margins of victory and only lost one game. Basically a natty
— Riley (@Ri_S_OB) August 19, 2025I’d like to say that John Cohen is on a heater. Built a top 5 baseball atmosphere, retired Cam’s jersey, claims 7 more national titles and recruiting is sky rocketing since August ??♂️ if Freeze has a good year this year then he’s hit on everything he’s done since at Auburn
— The King in the North (@commander_yella) August 19, 2025If Alabama can claim national titles for 1941 (finished 3rd in the SEC) 1973 (lost the sugar bowl) and the 1965 and 1978 (shared titles with other schools) Auburn can claim the 7 national championships that they did today *Our official website has always claimed them*
— Tyler Winfrey ? (@Tylerwinfrey25) August 19, 2025Auburn claiming a natty during a season they were ineligible for postseason play seems a little shaky t.co/nkYsuG1zZG
— Joey Hectus (@jhectus) August 19, 2025That’s now how that works. Auburn can claim whatever they want but that doesn’t make it so. Also the biggest case of little brother syndrome I’ve ever seen. If Alabama wasn’t big brother already they officially are now. I can’t wait to see who else claims what now t.co/Q7j6pqWVnD
— Zach Rubenstein Sports (@ZachR_Sports) August 19, 2025I don’t have a problem with the first three. But 2004? C’mon now.Just because USC had their title stripped and you finished No. 2 in the AP Poll, that doesn’t mean you get to claim that title as your own.Especially since, ya know, Auburn didn’t even play in the natty. t.co/Rd1gPnZQu6
— Matt McGavic (@Matt_McGavic) August 19, 2025If Auburn gets to just claim national championships, I am going to claim Pulitzer Prizes for 1985, 1999, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
— Danny Davis (@_dannydavis) August 19, 20251. This is pathetic. Even the generous semi-official NCAA list only recognizes 2 Auburn titles (1957, 2010).2. Notre Dame absolutely needs to claim at least 2 more (1919, 1964) to match the NCAA list. We are the only program that claims LESS (11) than awarded (13).… t.co/j4rjS1Ygg7
— The 4 Horsemen Podcast (@HorsemenPod) August 19, 2025Auburn claiming 4 national titles on the heels of suffering 4 consecutive losing seasons for the first time since the Harry Truman administration feels, uh, related. t.co/VrlVZ72KdQ
— Connor O'Gara (@cjogara) August 19, 2025THIS WEEK IN AUBURN FOOTBALLMight have a different coach call plays depending on the downMight play three different QBs in the opener against BaylorClaiming random national titles nobody recognizesBarning thru it.
— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) August 19, 2025I’d like to congratulate the state of Alabama. Between Alabama and Auburn, they now have more fake national titles than any other program’s legitimate titles. Impressive.Y’all are right. We don’t need an expanded playoff. College football has had it figured out for 130 years.…
— Matt Moscona (@MattMoscona) August 19, 2025The consensus among fans and the media is that the Tigers are making a decision that really doesn’t mean a whole lot. The two official national championships before they claimed the seven were in 1957 and 2010. The 2010 one was led by Cam Newton, who will officially have his No. 2 jersey number retired by the program this fall.
For the diehard Auburn fans, all that is going to matter is how the team does during the 2025 season.
The game against Baylor in Week 1 is a huge opportunity for the team to get fans and media talking about positive things this year. The two teams will face off on August 29 at 8 p.m. ET.
