Yeah, but not relevant. If bama had not had all those teams lose at the end of 2011 they wouldn't have gotten a rematch.
See, the thing about 1983 is if Osborne had kicked the extra point, Nebraska wouldn't have deserved the title anyway. They beat one ranked team all year. AU beat 7 or 8. That Orange bowl exposed nebraska for what they were. It wasn't like miami was that great either. They lost by 20 to the only really good team they played.
1983 was the best year at the top of the SEC ever IMO. I believe AU, UGA, and UF were the top 3 teams in the country. Florida had two losses, UGA and AU. UGA was only beaten but AU.

with each passing day, I'm convinced you're an alter of a rival fan. You continuously post stupid shite, like nonstop.
After the A. J. Green celebration penalty against LSU and after the two bogus targeting calls against Tennessee and after the phantom holding call on Gurley's long TD against USCe and after the bogus illegal man down field call on the fake punt against Auburn if you don't think we are targeted for bad call you are stupid (or maybe an SEC official alter).
Damn, almost forgot. How do you explain the failure to call a personal foul against Alabama in the SECCG when Murray got brutally blindsided with the official looking right at the hit?
The Auburn Nick Fairly cheap shot without a foul called was also corrupt.

No rational person can dispute AU was the best in 1983.
But both wire services diagree with you and they were considered the definitive sources of that time. You see, they and the rest of the nation saw Miama take down mighty Nebraska who was considered to be unbeatable at the time. It was a much more impressive win than auburn's 2 point edge over Michigan. I've never talked to anyone that consider auburn 1983's NC. No matter how many insignificant mom and pop outfits picked auburn, the real football fans of the nation KNOW.

Hardly the same comparison.

And what did the Sugar Bowl do if not expose Auburn? Michigan led for most of the game with the score being 7-3 going into the final quarter of play. You eeked out a 9-7 victory.
Your best wins in the regular season were against Florida and Georgia. Florida finished 9-2-1 and Georgia finished 10-1-1. At no point in the season did you look dominate over ranked competition.

No real football fan that knows that year believes AU was not national champ. Literally dozens of writers from across the nation have acknowledged and written articles that the AP voters fricked up in 1983. Hell, a sports illustrated writer said so a week after the game and called for a playoff. It was the last article of that issue after the polls came out.
And yes, people incorrectly thought 1983 Nebraska was a great team. Do you want me to link their opponents rankings? I think they played 2 teams in the top 50 the entire damn season. It was pitiful. And they still couldn't finish with a better record than an AU team that played a historically and unbelievably tough schedule.
It's a joke. I get it. Your just a gump and will do anything, lie, cheat, defend the indefensible or whatever if you think it makes bama look better or Daddy not look as good.
Well, I'm here to tell you right now, trying to argue AU was not the true national champ of 1983 is indefensible and you will simply embarrass yourself.

It really is astounding that UGA doesn't have more NC's in football

32 years is a long time to be butthurt, TiM. Y'all did have arguably the GOAT college player in 2010 and won an undisputed national championship in that same season.
It's time to let it go, bud.

frick it. I typed up a long response and hit the back button on my phone by mistake not doing it again.
Neither Nebraska or miami had a resume comparable to AU. If AU had played Nebraskas schedule 9 of the 11 games would have been 40 or 50 or 60 to zero. Nebraska played no one.
U bet you are one of those that thinks a team that goes undefeated in the MAC or playing no one all year deserves to be in the playoff.

frick that. Never letting it go as long as anyone is ignorant enough to even attempt to say AU was not the true 1983 champ and the polls fricked up.

AU played 5 Teams in the Top 10 that year. Five straight ranked teams to end the season. Nobody exposed AU, that was a typical Pat Dye coached game. Miami won the NC that year, even after getting blown out by UF.

This is true but Auburn did not look like world beaters against those teams. They squeaked out a 7-point victory against Florida, a 6-point victory over Georgia, a 3-point victory over Alabama, and a 2-point victory over Michigan. Those were the four teams you beat in 1983 that finished ranked in the final poll. And how Alabama finished ranked as high as they did with an 8-4 record I have no idea. Your most dominate victories that season were a 49-21 whooping over unranked Kentucky and a 37-14 rout of unranked Tennessee.
You did not pass the eye test in the final game of the season.....unlike Miami.

Two of which finished the season 8-4, one of which finished the season unranked.

Except they weren't.
You can argue that they SHOULD have been the national champs, but to argue that they WERE is to simply ignore the system that did NOT choose them.

And Miami lost to UF 28-3, a team that AU beat by 6.

Auburn hadn't won a NC since '57, until they sold the house for Newton. Maybe UGA needs to pay more?

Well they had the chance to get Cam in 07 but didn't want him as a qb.

So what? That was the first game of the season. Do you really believe the '83 Miami Hurricanes were the same team on January 2, 1984 that they were on September 3, 1983? After that first game loss to Florida, they didn't have a close game until their last game of the season against Florida State. They even beat Mississippi State by a larger margin than Auburn did (31-7 vs. 28-13). And that game took place a week before MSU played Auburn.

Auburn shouldn't have been blown out by Texas at home.

Sold the house? Cam was a bargain, If anyone knew how good cam would really be, every program would gladly pay 4-5x what they paid. Let's all just be thankful he didn't take advantage of his opportunity at Florida.
