The people at ESPN are currently working their collective asses off to let an 8...no, wait, 6...no, that's not it...ah, yes, the Greatest of BCS Era 3 loss Cutcliffe Ole Miss team that lost to Memphis (as well as the actual one loss BCS winner, LSU) into the title game.
This is silly. With the exception of 04 Auburn, not a single deserving SEC team has been left out of the title game, and that was the year when two other traditional powerhouses were also undefeated (plus Utah and Boise State, iirc.) And it was the computers that really killed Auburn, placing OU above USC because computers still operate on the GIGO principle. When another SEC program does the job, it'll get in the title game. Florida did. Auburn did on 2010. UT did in the very first BCSNCG. Had UGA beat Bama last year, they would have been in.
What a whiny topic this is.

AUburn wanted no part of USC that year. As much as i hate the trojans, that team would have destroyed any team they faced by 3-4 touchdowns.
Auburn was done a favor by not playing..and it may have helped the SEC champ in future years. You know voters saying, if only we had sent auburn there, maybe it would have been a game.....
