I agree with the accomplishments thing. 04AU and 09AL both went undefeated in the games that they played. That was their accomplishment period. Being voted where they ended up was not their accomplishment. The problem is with the NCAA not having a playoff. Having people vote a team into a particular game is not that team's accomplishment. It's someone else's opinion and speculation. 09AL getting voted into position to be in the national title game doesn't mean they were any better than 04AU's team (we'll never know). For example, in a scenario of USC going convincingly undefeated in '09, Bama would have been left out cuz of the poor showing against AU and the fact that UF had already been "beaten" by Ark at home.

Well said.
Quote: "...beat the last 3 BCS champs on the way..." What a homer...
Umm, did the the last 3 BCS champs' bring back those players to play Bama in '09??? Everyone knew the Gators weren't the same team as '08 after Arkansas "beat" them at Gainesville.
P.S. why did u ignore my post of the '04 AU stats vs. '09 AL stats?

Well, here ya go:
Auburn 2004 vs. opponents
Points Per Game............. 32.1 11.3
Average yds Per Game..........420.7 277.6
Average Per Play............ 6.4 4.6
UA 2009 vs. opponents
Points Per Game 32.1 11.7
Avg yds Per Game 403.0 244.1
Average Per Play 6.0 4.0
SCORE BY QUARTERS 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Total
-------------------- --- --- --- --- ---
2004 AU............. 129 95 116 77 - 417
Opponents........... 19 20 38 70 - 147
Score by quarters 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Total
Alabama 86 162 80 121 449
Opponents 43 43 46 32 164
The Score by Quarters tells the tale. AU in '04 cruised to their victories & was in command in the 4th Quarter (except LSU early in season); whereas, AL was still needing to score points in 4Q. I watched both teams and that's a true statement. Also, Bama struggled against UT & AU. They would've lost to AU if their QB didn't have 2 turnovers (one of them totally unforced where receiver was wide open but he overthrew, another he was careless by holding the ball in one hand & fumbled)
