they did have a fantastic year

That was complete collusion.
USC and OU started the year 1 and 2 and both went undefeated and for the most part looked outstanding doing it. What collusion was at hand? It would look more suspect to bump one of them for au.

Absolutely, plus, USC had shut out Auburn, at Auburn, the year before.

In your own quote you find the problem.

In retrospect, it's easy to say Auburn deserved the shot at USC over Oklahoma after OU was throttled by like five TDs, but no one could have known that at the time. As you said, they were #1 and 2 most of the year. Any time a certain number of undefeated teams remain at the end of the year, one will always have a claim to the "we should have been there" argument.

The collusion was not were these teams started but who they played in getting to play for a National Championship.
USC played :
No 7 California
No 15 Arizona State
Oklahoma played:
No 5 Texas
No 20 Oklahoma St
No 22 Texas A&M
Auburn played:
No 5 LSU
No 10 Tennessee
No 8 Georgia
No 15 Tennessee
Now if you can’t see the different then you don’t need to comment about football ever.
