Miami beat the #1 team in their bowl game. You'd have been #2.
Miami was #5 going into that bow game. Auburn not winning the ‘83 title is considered by many to be the greatest skrewjob in the history of CFB.
The only reason Miami was able to jump that high up the rankings is because all the teams at the top had just one loss.
An unbeaten ‘83 Auburn team would have undoubtedly won the championship that season.

And they beat the #1 team which leapfrogged them all the way up. Still would have happened.

In your OP basically only included end of the year games...
Here you are talking about a loss in the second game of the season.
As people have shown on this thread... there are lots of games that "cost" teams a national championship if you include the regular season.
One for you is Notre Dame defeating Oklahoma in 1957. That game is the reason that Auburn won the championship that year.
