It's an absolute shame that an undefeated SEC team didn't get the chance to play for the NC that year. I don't know if Auburn would have beaten USC, but it would have been a better game than USC/Oklahoma

total agreement..

Everyone remembers the offense that year with Campbell, Brown & Williams but how good Auburn was defensively sometimes gets lost in the shuffle.. dont get me wrong, it woulda been tough to defeat USCw that night fosho (oklahoma walked straight into a buzzsaw) BUT I am very confident that defense wouldn't gave up 55fukkin points! IIRC, they finished top5 or top10 in almost every metric used to measure defensive performance (scoring, yrds/pts alliwed, total yards, etc.)......
