Biggest fluke ever. Refs saved them so many times during the game.

adjusted stats on both sides of the ball
How are they adjusted? I don't recall Auburn ever having the 24th ranked defense.

Didn't realize AUs defense was that good in 2010. Especially with how many points the O put up

Pretty interesting stuff.
Of the 15 champs, 8 had a higher ranked defense than offense, 4 had a higher ranked offense than defense, and 3 had the same rank on offense/defense. (Analysis - most champs' defense has been ranked better than their offense)
Of the 15 champs, 5 had an offense ranked outside the top 10 (worst being 38th) and 3 had a defense ranked outside the top 10 (worst being 24th), 0 had both an offense and defense ranked outside the top 10. (Analysis - might be easier to overcome a less non-elite offense than it is to overcome a non-elite defense to win a championship, but you need at least one elite unit).
Michigan State would be the big surprise winner based on this analysis. Although their defense is ranked higher than their offense like most championship teams, both units are outside the top 10 (offense WAY outside - 41st - would be worst of all champions).
Not surprisingly, Alabama's offense is not elite based on adjusted stats. They don't put up gaudy yards or points. If Alabama is going to win the championship it will once again be based on an elite defense.
