Nobody "screwed' Auburn in 2004

Preseason 1 and 2 ran the table, thats just how the cookie crumbled sometimes
Auburn was screwed and then screwed again when they weren't awarded the Natty after USC had to vacate.

:stfu:

Here's Auburn's schedule for 2004:

Louisiana Monroe
Mississippi State (lost to Maine and UAB)
LSU (lost to Iowa)
The Citadel
Tennessee (lost to Notre Dame)
Louisiana Tech
Arkansas (lost to Texas)
Kentucky (lost to Louisville, Ohio)
Ole Miss (lost to Memphis, Wyoming)
Georgia (the only SEC team on this list without an OOC loss)
Alabama (lost to Minnesota)

I didn't include the conference losses on here, just the OOC ones. The SEC had a bad year. It wasn't the human polls that screwed Auburn, it was the computer polls that saw all those bad OOC losses.
2 things got us.

1. Tenn had two losses before the game was selected which dropped them in the rankings, the problem is both losses were to Auburn (ND didn't factor because they hadn't played).

2. Oklahoma got a boost in the polls over a win of Bowling Green that was ranked at one part in the season. What you don't know is that Bowling Green was supposed to play Auburn and Oklahoma bought the game from BG to fill a hole in their schedule leaving Auburn scrambling to find an opponent and had to settle on The Citadel. OU got credit for BG and Auburn got penalized for the Citadel.

also by the way Pac 12 2016 had 4 in top 17 with 2 in the top 5 so
2014 had 4 in the top 15
so not really

Dude, c'mon...I said that would be a banner year in the Pac-12 and you list the only 2 years since 2000 that they come even close...and only one of them has 4 in the top 16....

Jesus Christ, I couldn't make my point any better if I tried. If one time in 20 isn't a banner year, I think you might be confused by what the term means.

there were others but if 2 with in 2 (not 20) isnt enough for you i feel like if i listed more you still would have bitched about it. only 1 had 4 sorry the voters still have biased opinions and Colorado was only 17 at 10-4 while 8 win LSU was ranked higher. i went with 4 because YOU used 4. thats how comparing things works.

Computers don't give a shit about game day rankings.

Also, if BGSU was supposed to be your marquee OOC game that's fairly sad.

Rule #3 - A 1 loss Bama will always get in over any other 1 loss team because the committee is made up of homos

If that were the case, then Auburn would have been in the Top 4 prior to the 2017 SEC CG. Oh, wait... they were. I guess that explains things...

No dipshit, there are not others...that is what I was telling you. Since 2000 there is only one season in which 4 Pac-12 teams are ranked in the final 16. No amount of pretending or wishful thinking on your part is going to make it otherwise. Unlike you, I didn't pull numbers out of my ass, I used 4 because that is how many SEC teams were ranked in the top 16 in 2004...you know, our "down" year.

I used 2000 as an arbitrary number...but the reality is I could have used 1983 and the answer would be the same. The Pac-12 had 4 teams in the top 16 in 2014...and then the next time that was true was 1982...in the 5th season of the Pac-10...the next time after that...fucking never.

List of Pac-12 Conference football standings - Wikipedia

So STFU with your stupid made up stats, it's not 1 time in 20, it's two times in forever...like I said, 2004 SEC would be a banner year for the Pac-12.

Ok, I'll give you that one, happy now, it's still 3 in fifty years...not exactly what one would call a regular occurrence.
