2004 Auburn, maybe?
Should have gone to the big game, but they chose a cheating team (USC) instead. JMO.



2004 would have been one hell of a playoff:

1. USC vs 4. Texas
2. Oklahoma vs 3. Auburn

The only problem would have been an undefeated Utah program in the mix causing a lot of naysaying about the “true” champion, but the playoff itself would have been fun to watch.

Pretty sure it would have been USC vs Auburn. Still chaps my arse that an undefeated SEC Champ got passed over.

Absolutely. I would stop short of saying Auburn would win it, but they would have put up a better fight than Oklahoma. A playoff that year might have gone down as the best overall playoff. The biggest problem would have been the aftermath of USC.
