As for Miami- they gave up 1.25 fewer points per game than Alabama, and averaged 10 pts per game more. However, they played 0 teams that wound up in the top five


If I remember correctly - Miami wasn't even in danger of losing once that year. Sure, they may have struggled for a quarter or something, but I really don't think anyone challenged them except maybe Virginia Tech. Do you understand how insanely talented that team was? I'm not saying Bama wasn't talented, but Miami was great in every phase of the game. They could pass for 300 yards or rush for 300 yards.

Miami barely squeeked by Va. Tech by 2 points. Of course, that was one of the few decent teams they played that year. Wasn't like the Big East was better then top to bottom. Boston College also played them close. Miami pulled away late. Final was 18-7. Miami was VERY talented, but they also played a weak schedule.

This year's alabama team was one of the weakest national title teams of the past 30 years.

Miami '01 would have beaten them by about 20 points.....at least.




would've put 04 Barn team in the dirt

Maybe they did play a weak schedule, but they were a more complete team then Bama was in 09.

Miami 01 over Bama 09. Nobody would beat Nebraska 95 though.

04 AU vs. 09 Bama would be epic.

AU in a close one, though.

Really? Based on what? Skewed perceptions a decade later? Their wide outs and quarterback were better, our o-line and running backs were better. Defense, toss up. Special teams, I'll take Javy, but their coverage was better.

Didn't Auburn in 2004 need the refs help to beat LSU. The FG at the end of the game was blocked and that should have been the end of the game.
Alabama also needed the replay booth to help them escape from LSU in 09. It was an INT and we will never know the outcome of the game. Not saying that both teams were not deserving but both needed alot of help to stay undefeated.

This dude keeps posting facts and everyone keeps ignoring him or talking about how many players the 01 Miami team put into the NFL.

Sorry for the hijack, BUT would '09 Bama be able to stop '95 Nebraska option?

Really Texas Tiger, is that why Alabama had more All Americans, a heisman winner, and posted as many points scored and as few points given up against a TOUGHER schedule? Wow- you're bright.


All those awards are subjective.

My assessment of Auburn's talent is based off the players they put in the NFL. Seriously.....that team was f'in loaded and if you can't admit that, you're a blind homer.

I hate Auburn, but I can admit that team was loaded.

That Auburn team had a better QB, better RBs, better WR/TEs (as a whole, none as good as JJ), and a better defense.

Too bad for them, they couldnt score more per game, than our team did last year, nor could the hold opponents to less points a game than our team did last year. To be so talented, they must have really underperformed then. And if you are bragging on their performance, then get in line to suck Bama off, because they acheived at least as much, and then more.

You are not using a fixed variable for comparison. Points per game means nothing if the competition was significantly weaker in one year than it was in the other (04 was stronger).

2004 AU - 34, 2009 Bama 17. That is if Tubby lets the team run it up after getting up by a couple of tds.


I don't get it.... 04 Auburn beat a lousy 04 Bama 21-13 (Barn trailing 6-0 at halftime), but you beat a championship 09 team 34-17? You realize how dumb you sound?

Btw, 2001 Miami wins 23-6.
