Memphis 9-0-1 1963 National Champions
If we're playing that game....
1. 1900, undefeated 5-0 Tulane ran over Ole Miss, LSU, Bama, Millsaps, Southern Athletic Club, outscored opponents 105-0
2. 1925, undefeated 9-0-1, nation's leading scorer, beat Northwestern in Chicago, 6/10 shutouts, outscored opponents 246-23
3. 1929, undefeated 9-0, turned down the Rose Bowl so student's wouldn't miss finals, outscored opponents 297-45
4. 1934, 10-1, undefeated in SEC play, beat Temple in the Sugar Bowl, outscored opponents 225-93, (only loss to Colgate in Old Yankee Stadium)
5. 1998, 12-0, won the Liberty Bowl by 14 points.
So Tulane actually should claim 5 national championships!
In fact the only real national title Tulane played for was the 1939 Sugar Bowl. Number 5 ranked Tulane hosted the Number 1 ranked Aggies Texas A&M at the old Sugar Bowl on Tulane's campus. The Greenies came up one point short, losing 14-13 and cementing their number 5 rank to end the season.
That year Tulane beat Clemson, Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama, and LSU amoung others. Interestingly they played every single game at home except when they traveled to New York to beat up on Columbia 25-0.
We're like the Mr. Penut of the AAC with all our weird old classy history haha!
