Long story short, if they hadn't gone undefeated in '04, a few of those SEC teams in future MNCs would've never gotten the benefit of the doubt
Disagree. 2006 Florida is what started the SEC getting the benefit of the doubt. If OSU had wiped the floor with them as expected, it would have been a lot different.

Yep. AU gets nor deserves credit for starting the SEC run.

Yeah, well, Auburn shitting the bed against Georgia that year was what really started it all. Because it would have been hard for Florida to jump Michigan if Auburn was ranked ahead of them, and the experts would have said that Auburn couldn't go because they didn't win their conference championship. Though SOS and other arguments might have pushed Auburn in since they had a victory over a top 4 conference champion.

Disagree with you, lol...if Auburn finished with one or two losses in '04, USC/Oklahoma would've been universally agreed upon as the proper MNC matchup, regardless of the final score....because OU lost the way they did, Auburn going undefeated allowed wiggle room for the next SEC team that was on the bubble. I honestly think UF would've been passed over if it wasn't for AU '04, despite the Gators proving they were the rightful and deserving champs.

Florida doesn't get in that year if Auburn doesn't get the snub. Couldn't snub the SEC twice in such a small window of time. Michigan was believed to be the better team despite Florida getting the nod thanks to Auburn.
