2 against LSU in 1988.
5 against FSU in 2013 bcsncg
1 against LSU in 1958
1 UGA in 1914
1 South Carolina 1932
Each would have led to NC or perfect season

6 to the 2012 SECCG.
Thought about that, and if we had won in 2012, we would probably not have Smart right now. As much as I liked Richt, I am happy we have Smart right now.

(1) +4 points for Auburn in the 2013 BCSCG against FSU.
(2) +2 points for Auburn in the 1988 Auburn/LSU "Earthquake Game". Winning that one would have given us an undefeated regular season and then the post-season game could well have been totally different in momentum resulting in a 1980's-style MNC.
(3) +2 points for Auburn in the 1997 SECCG against Tennessee.
(4) +1 point for Auburn in the 1988 (post-1987 season) Sugar Bowl against Syracuse.
(5) +1 point for Auburn in the 1994 DSOR game against UGA.
This would have resulted in (1) a BCS National Championship, (2) an undefeated regular season and a shot at a 1980's-style MNC, (3) an SEC Championship and a Sugar Bowl berth, (4) a Sugar Bowl victory, and (5) an extension of the 20-game winning streak to 21 and a possible difference in momentum and differing result in the following Iron Bowl.

We lost by 3, so only need 4. I am assuming since we are mythically "adding points" then we can also mythically re-arrange the way those points were scored, i.e. adding 4 points would have given us 35, ergo we would have mythically scored 5 TDs rather than 4 TDs and a FG.

I'd give the other 4 points to the 2010 Auburn game because to hell with Cam Newton.
I love Cam Newton so goddam much.

ten points
1973 Sugar Bowl vs. Notre Dame: 2 points, NC.
2017 NCG vs. Clemson: 5 points, NC, we’d be going for an unprecedented four-peat this year.
1975 Orange Bowl vs. Notre Dame, 3 points, would stop everyone’s bitching about our 1974 UPI NC.

All 10 to the 2014 Texas A&M game so we’d have beaten them 69-0

Either 9 points for UGA game in 2012 (we lost 17-9) would have put us in SECCG and better position to play ND for the national title.
1 point for UF/UT 2007, just to put 60 on those frickers
OR
2001- 3 points for UF/UT, pre BCS NC Games (just the 4 bowls). UF lost 34-32, would have really made a big impact on the national landscape (MIA, NEB, UT, etc.)
2013- 7 vs GA Southern, lost 26-20, Would've spared the embarrasment of that game

Do you think 19-6 would keep Alabama out of a rematch? If so, that's strong for LSU
Posted on 8/12/18 at 9:24 am to anc
The obvious answer that's probably been posted repetitively in this thread: 2012 SECCG & 2017-18 NCG.

10 to the 2013 BCS Championship Game against Notre Dame. Because frick Notre Dame.

What about ya'lls 2002 loss to UF? Would have putten you in the BCS/Fiesta bowl likely vs Miami(FL).

2012 would have led us to sure win vs Norte Dame. I'm sure there are other near losses throughout history that might have had NC implications but I'm gonna go with the two most recent ones - 12 & 18. Ironic thing is had we won in 2012 we wouldn't be where we are today which is in much better shape to be a perennially dominant program. In that sense it was a blessing in disguise, IMO.

5 to uga vs Bama 2012
1 to uga in regulation vs Bama 2017
4 to uga vs sc 2007
0 mnc becomes 3
