re: 2004 vs 2010 auburn...

Great question. 2004 was certainly a more complete team but I would take 2010 simply due to Nick Fairly and Cam Newton's ability to dominate games. It's hard to beat a team that has players that dominate the middle of the line like Fairly and can consistently convert 3rd and short like Cam enabled Auburn to do. 3rd down conversion rate is simply one of the most overlooked stats in football.
