It’s been a minute since Auburn was a true national championship contender, as it hasn’t been a college football powerhouse in recent decades.
However, the school did have one shining moment while hanging onto the broad shoulder of one Cam Newton in 2010.
The last time the Tigers won a championship was in that magical 2010 season where they went undefeated and absolutely crushed Texas on the way to their first title since 1957.
Newton won the Heisman Trophy running away and went on to become the No. 1 overall pick to the Carolina Panthers in the NFL Draft. They haven’t seen that same sort of magic since.
