The reason Auburn didn't get in the title game in 04' is because they played USC in a home and home series in 2002 and 2003 and lost both games. The 02 game was close but the 2003 game was a blow out at home. Voters didn't want to see an Auburn vs USC pt.3 so they gave OU a shot even though the 04 Auburn team had the better SOS and beat more ranked teams.
OU and USC were entrenched at #1 and #2 all year while Auburn started #19 in the polls.
If it were the old system Auburn could easily claim it as Bama does for 75% of their titles

Bigger than the first Iron Bowl at home?
Yes, because the Iron Bowl had not yet been played in Auburn in 1983.
