Unlike the '04 team, 1993 AU was legitimately the best team in the country

Disagree about 04 not being the best. OU got raped in the title game. Everybody talks about how talented USC was that year, but if you go back and look at the rosters Auburn was more talented. We had more NFL players, better NFL players, and more talented depth. I've done a position by position break down of the two teams and Auburn had better players at every single position, except LB where USC may have been equal.

Another argument is that Auburn didn't blow out Virginia Tech. Well, neither did USC who opened that season with Va Tech. Auburn may have not blown out VT, but we controlled the game from start to finish and it was never in doubt, that was just Tuberville's conservative coaching style. USC only led by 1 halfway through the 4th.

USC also struggled with some mediocre and flat out bad teams.
- vs. 4-7 Stanford, USC was down by 11 at halftime and only took the lead late in the 4th to win by 3.
- vs. mediocre 7-5 Oregon State, USC started off down 13-0 and didn't put the game away until the 4th only winning by one score
- vs. 6-6 UCLA, USC only won by 5

The only games Auburn had in 2004 that were within one score were vs. defending National Champs LSU and in the Sugar Bowl vs ACC champs Virginia Tech
