Tribune declares Auburn National Champs

The Eufaula Tribune has declared the undefeated Auburn Tigers National Champions in the paper's first NCAA college football poll.

Tommy Tuberville's squad received all six first-place votes in The Tribune's poll. Staff writers for The Tribune participated in the poll, which was released at the conclusion of the bowl season.

The Tribune staff voted on the poll after the Orange Bowl game between Oklahoma and Southern California.

"Our staff feels strongly that the Tigers were the best team in the country this past season," Tribune sports editor Patrick Johnston said. "While Auburn's soft non-conference schedule likely affected voters who participated in the AP and Coaches' polls, our staff took impressive wins over Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia Tech and LSU into greater consideration."

I guess those in other parts of the country might give more credence to it if were the Chicago Tribune, but I'll take it!
