The 1977 Alabama team (Jan 2, 1978) or the 1983 Auburn team (Jan 2, 1984)?

Alabama finished 2nd behind Notre Dame. Auburn finished 3rd behind Miami and Nebraska.

Bama.

Auburn wasn't winning a NC after getting whooped at home by Texas in what was, at that time at least, the biggest home game in their history.

Alabama beat the shite out of Ohio State that year, 35-6. Ohio State had 2 previous losses already, but they were to #3 Oklahoma (28-29) and #5 Michigan (6-14). Alabama lost to Nebraska (finished 9-3) in Memorial Stadium, while Notre Dame lost to a 5-6 Ole Miss team.

On the flip side though, ND won out and beat #1 Texas 38-10. Also beat #5 USC (49-19), #15 Clemson (21-17), and #7 Pitt (19-9).

Alabama also played USC in LA and won.

83 Auburn. Man was I pulling hard for Miami in that game but now looking back I'm sad for that Husker team and Osborne. He showed historic sack that day. I think SI voted Auburn their champs no?

94 Penn State deserves a share of the title like none other.
