The 2010 Auburn football championship team will go down in history as one of the most unstoppable teams in the history of college football.

Why? Simple: no one stopped them.

Cam Newton’s Heisman brilliance and the sturdiness of Nick Fairley and the Tigers’ top 10-ranked run defense helped the Tigers put down 14 different opponents in the 2010 season, which culminated in a victory over the dominant Oregon offense in the National Championship game.

The 2020 season saw two teams achieve such a feat. Of course, one of them was the team up north winning yet another title after another round of recruiting dominance the season before.
