The 2004 Auburn team didn't win the title for a lot of good reasons. It's all how you frame it. To read this article, you would think "dey wuz robbed" as all the cow molesters said at the time and for years afterwards.

But, they didn't have that impressive of a season, that is why the voters and the computers did not give them a shot at the NC. Notice that Hawaii didn't get a shot this year either, even though many thought they had an impressive year.

2004-Auburn (SEC)
9/4 vs. Louisiana-Monroe (5-6) W 31 0
9/11 @ *Mississippi State (3-8) W 43 14
9/18 vs. *Louisiana State (9-3) W 10 9
9/25 vs. Citadel (non-IA) W 33 3
10/2 @ *Tennessee (10-3) W 34 10
10/9 vs. Louisiana Tech (6-6) W 52 7
10/16 vs. *Arkansas (5-6) W 38 20
10/23 vs. *Kentucky (2-9) W 42 10
10/30 @ *Mississippi (4-7) W 35 14
11/13 vs. *Georgia (10-2) W 24 6
11/20 @ *Alabama (6-6) W 21 13
12/4 vs. *Tennessee (10-3) W 38 28

They played 6 teams with losing seasons,

one Double A team,

a 3-8 Ms. State, a 2-9 Kentucky, a 4-7 Mississippi, a 5-6 Arkansas,

2 teams with break even seasons,

played one good team twice, and finally,

they scheduled Louisiana Tech, Louisiana Monroe, & Citadel all in the same season,

bugging my eyes out at this last one:

LT, LM, and Citadel all in the same season, damn.

Impressive season? I don't think so, and not many voters or computers did either.
