What would a Vandy fan know about championships anyway?

I know it will be a long time before LSU ever wins another one.

2004 AU needed help from the refs to beat 2004 LSU. Big surprise.

Not enforced before or after this game. It was so blatant, you can't even spin it. Karma took care of it with the people's NC though

Does anyone think that after the arse whooping USC put on Oklahoma, that Auburn really had much of a chance anyway?

That's exactly the problem with CFB. Team A destroys Team B, therefore Team A is better than Team C and we're not going to even let Team C play Team A, we'll just award Team A the championship.
OU laid an absolute egg in that game. Turned the ball over 4 or 5 times. What if AU actually played USC and didnt turn the ball over 4 or 5 times? Who knows who woulda won.

This is a tough question. but to be honest I think the undefeated season is a greater accomplishment for Au even thought they didn't win the BCSCG or even get the invite. They still won the SEC. I'd go with a perfect season and we all know Bama would claim the NC anyway.

No, not really. USC had beaten Au pretty bad the previous two seasons (which doesn't really mean they would again in 04) and probably hurt Au's chances of jumping OU.

USC beat AU by a TD in 02, won 23-0 the next year. Those two games have absolutely no relevance on what whould've happened in 2004.

do you really think that did not wiegh in the back of voters minds when comtemplating moving Au ahead of OU? I know it shouldn't but I bet it did.

IMO, the biggest mistake people are making in this thread is playing the "but LSU won a NC" card. That's a flawed argument.
CFB is the only sport in which you can win all of your games and not even sniff playing for the NC. AU had absolutely no control over playing for the NC. The only thing they controlled was playing for the SEC championship.
I guess LSU fans are also going to tell us that their 2 loss "NC" season was more impressive than AU's undefeated season.

Dude, the voters/media had crowned USC/OU the best two teams before the season even started. The entire season they were hyping the possibility of a OU/USC championship game. There was NOTHING AU could've of done to jump OU, absolutely nothing.

The only common opponent Auburn dominated from the word go. It would have been a close game that could have gone either way, OU was vastly over rated that year as I think VT could have beaten the tar out of OU.

Defeating Virginia Tech 16-13 in the Sugar Bowl doesn't help your case for a split national championship.
Did you watch the game? That was the standard Tuberville "Get up on them early, then sit on the ball and play defense to get out of there" game. We didn't put up any style points and there 14 points were absolute garbage at the end of the fourth quarter.
I agree it didn't help our case, I just want to establish that that game was not as close as the score indicates.

In 2002 Auburn was tied at half, USC got a field goal in the 3rd Auburn tied it back up with a field goal of our own before USC was able to get a last minute TD that Auburn wasn't able to match.
Only in 2003 with the Hugh Nall fiasco were we beaten soundly and even that score is deceptive all of their TDs came from turnovers on our side of the field they scored only a couple of field goals when starting on their side of the field. With Petrino in 2003 we'd have thumped USC pretty hard but oh well that's how it went.
