The 1957 Auburn Tigers football team was an American football team that represented Auburn University in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 1957 college football season. In their seventh season under head coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan, the Tigers compiled a perfect 10–0 record (7–0 in the SEC), shut out six of ten opponents, won the SEC championship, and outscored all opponents by a total of 207 to 28.[1][2]
The national championship was split with Auburn No. 1 in the AP Poll and Ohio State, despite one loss, ranked No. 1 by the UPI coaches poll, Football Writers Association of America and International News Service.[3][4] In later analyses, Auburn was chosen as national champion by the majority of selectors, including the Billingsley Report, College Football Researchers Association, Helms Athletic Foundation, National Championship Foundation, Poling System, Sagarin Ratings, and Williamson System.[3] This was Auburn’s last national championship until 2010.
Auburn end Jimmy Phillips was a consensus first-team pick on the 1957 All-America college football team.[5] Phillips and fellow end Jerry Wilson were both selected as first-team picks on the 1957 All-SEC football team. Center Jackie Burkett, tackle Ben Preston, and back Bill Atkins were named to the All-SEC second team.[6][7][8]
