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.
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.

Undefeated, untied, and two time defending NChampion Alabama comes to mind.

Except for the fact that Texas molested Auburn at home in what was the biggest home game in Auburn history up to that time.
Hence Texas was more deserving.

And your entire post was proven ignorant with this statement. Under the 2017 system Auburn wouldn't be voted anything but into the playoff.

1966 Alabama disagrees with you.
National champions in 1964 and 1965; a pre-season #1 ranking going into 1966; a perfect 11-0 record with a 34-7 victory over #6 Nebraska in the Sugar Bowl; finished #3 in both major polls behind Notre Dame and Michigan State (both of whom finished the season with a 9-0-1 record). Neither Notre Dame or Michigan State played in a bowl that year either.
1977 Alabama also has a similar argument to 1983 Auburn.
