Missouri was twice in position to play in the championship game and both times shite the bed in the conference championship
2007 vs Oklahoma (tied at half lose by 21) ouch
2013 vs Auburn (down by 3 @end of 3rd, lose by 17)-worst defensive gameplan ever

Are you trying to say that had Auburn defeated MSU in 2014 we would have won the national title?
Adding Mississippi St. to the conversation. It was a huge deal for them to make it to #1. Most of the SEC was rooting for them until they lost to Bama

Again? How did this loss exactly cost Auburn a national title? Costing a team a playoff spot is not the same as costing a national title?
We were ranked #2 in the Country. Could have given us the chance to play for one. (ie: decided our faith of a chance to play)

Explain how that works for me.
Simple- ND wanted to play the Sugar. Catholics and whatnot. All AU had to do was stop a 4th down and get a shot at it.
But my bad- I didn't realize that all you were talking about was games where the runner up lost to the national champion. Yes, I'd say in likelihood, you could get responses from Washington, TCU, Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, UGA, Alabama, Oregon, Auburn, Notre Dame, And LSU fans, etc-. I'll bet they have some wild stories to tell that yes, indeed, their losses in their respective championship games quite likely cost them a national championship.
Carry on.

No, you're wrong- the OP is only talking about national championship games. Forget these other intriguing talking points.

1959 #1 LSU vs Tennessee. (week after the Halloween run.) Refs called Billy Cannon short of goal line, but photos show the ball clearly over. Tigers lost 14-13, and finished 10-2 after Sugar Bowl rematch loss to Rebs.
1969 #5 LSU at Ole Miss. Tigers led 23-12 in the 4th. Archie led Rebs to two TDs and a 26-23 lead. Cholly Mac disdained a tying FG near the OM goal line and barely missed on a winning 4th down throw in the EZ.
Tigers finished 9-1, and accepted a bid to play #1 Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
The Cotton Bowl committee then reneged on their invitation, taking 7-3 and lower-ranked Notre Dame over 9-1 higher-ranked LSU. LSU players then turned down Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl invite.
1970 Top 5 LSU at #1 Notre Dame. Game was tied 0-0 with ND near the LSU goal line and time running out.
Joe Theismann threw a pass into the LSU end zone that LSU's Tommy Casanova dropped in his stomach that could have been a winning pick-6. Instead ND kicked the winning FG and won 3-0.
The AP headlines next morning: "If ND Is #1, LSU Is #1-A."

It’s about games that had your team won you’d undoubtedly won the Championship.
So- since you have no precognitive abilities, then you're talking about NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP games, right?

Well I can blame Blake Godeon for dropping the easy INT before all that mess. Regardless, wasnt meant to be

I filled in the obvious ones which are title games. I know for Auburn, there are two additional regular season games that cost us national titles (1958 GT and 1983 TX),
So, you're saying that if they finish undefeated, they likely win the national title?
Cool.
Hey- let's do Auburn again. I will go out on a limb and say that there were 6 regular season games that cost AU a chance to be undefeated and play for a national championship in 2023.

LSU - 1969 Ole Miss
Win that one they're undefeated and go to Sugar Bowl more than likely to play Arkansas or even go to Cotton Bowl to play Texas.

Should make this regular season games. Playoffs or title games are not that related to a subject like this.

Politics cost us in '45, '66 and '77. Two of those would have resulted in 3-peats.
