re: Top 10 SEC teams that didn't win NC

The 2004 Auburn team was really good. You just never get 3 undefeated teams at the end of the season like that. With the CFP at least that shouldn't happen again.

The 2004 USC team was ridiculous. I know their title was stripped but they were the best team IMO. I remember strength of schedule was a big factor.

2004 USC
PS/G 38.2 6th of 120
PA/G 13.0 3rd of 120
SOS 5th of 120

2004 OU
PS/G 34.8 14th of 120
PA/G 16.8 11th of 120
SOS 11th of 120

2004 Auburn
PS/G 32.1 18th of 120
PA/G 11.3 1st of 120
SOS 55th of 120

That Auburn team's OOC schedule was Louisiana-Monroe, The Citadel, and Louisiana Tech.

OU's OOC schedule included Bowling Green, Houston and Oregon. OU also beat ranked teams in the Big 12 which had 12 teams then. Scheduling is going to become increasingly important I think.

I think that OU team was deserving of a championship spot and even though the NCAA vacated USC's win and trophies etc., OU still counts the loss.
