In probation stained 1993 you couldn't play in the SECCG or even on TV. 
In 1983 Texas beat AU like a drum in what was the biggest game ever played in Auburn up to that time. Texas was more deserving than Auburn.

The team capped a stellar 11–1 season, with a 9-7 victory over Michigan in the Sugar Bowl. Despite entering the bowl games ranked third in both major polls, and with both teams ranked higher losing their bowl games, the Tigers ended ranked third in the final AP and the UPI Coaches' poll as Miami jumped from 5th from the AP and 4th from the UPI Coaches' poll to claim the AP/UPI Coaches' National Championship award.[2] Auburn had played the toughest schedule in the nation, including nine bowl teams, eight of which were ranked in the top 20 (four in the top ten), and two teams Auburn faced would compete against each other in the 1983 Florida Citrus Bowl (Tennessee won the game against Maryland 30-23). Also, Auburn beat Florida by a touchdown 28-21, the same Florida team that defeated Miami in the beginning of the season by a 28-3 score. The Tigers did finish ranked first in a few polls including the computer rankings utilized by The New York Times.[2]

There has never been a team more robbed of a national title than Auburn in 1983. I won't rehash the stats that prove it. Zero chance with Auburn's record that a blue blood isn't voted champion in 1983 with Auburn's record, schedule and the opponents having the same record. Your comment was rendered ignorant by stating Texas was more deserving despite loosing to uga in the bowl game when Auburn had beaten uga a few weeks earlier. I know we have a different system today but zero chance in 2017 Auburn isn't voted champion under the same system as 1983 with the same results because Auburn has a slightly higher profile today than in 1983.
Auburn beats USC in 2004 because they were by far the best team in the country that season. More talent. Tougher schedule. Better at every key position but linebacker and that was a push.

I guess you're going to give that 2011 title back to LSU?

Troll on.
Want to actually stack up the resumes of Nebraska, Miami, Auburn, and Texas from 1983?
You'll realize quickly that Auburn played the strongest schedule and had the best wins of the group. They also lost to Texas in the second game of the season. Texas dropped the very last game of the season with the national title on the line.
