FOOTBALL TEAMS AND PLAYERS THAT PLAY BY THE RULES AND DO NOT CHEAT SHOULD BE REWARDED FOR THEIR EFFORTS! THE AUBURN PLAYERS ON THAT GREAT AUBURN TEAM SHOULD BE REWARDED FOR THEIR EFFORT. THEY PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT KNOWING THAT THEY WERE PROBABLE GOING TO BE LOCKED OUT OF THE NAT CHAMP GAME AND YET THE PLAYED WITH TOTAL DEVOTION AND DETERMINATION AND STILL WON. ACTUALLY WHEN AUBURN FELT THEY MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE IT INTO THE TITLE GAME, THEY BLEW A VERY GOOD GEORGIA TEAM COMPLETELY OUT OF THE WATER 24-6. THEN, EVEN WHEN THE WRITING WAS ON THE WALL, THEY STILL DEFEATED ALABAMA IN BRYANT DENNY AND TENNESSEE IN THE SEC CHAMP GAME AND THE ACC CHAMPS VIRGINIA TECH IN THE SUGAR. THIS WHILE KNOWING THEY HAD BEEN DELIBERATLY SHUT OUT OF THAT GAME, THEY STILL WON ALL THEIR GAMES. AND NOW, WE HAVE PROOF THAT USC PLAYED AND INELGIBLE PLAYER- HAD THE TITLE REMOVED AND STILL AUBURN IS SNUBBED!! WHY. IF WOULD MEAN SO MUCH TO THOSE GUYS AND TO THE AUBURN FAN BASE THAT HAS BEEN LOYAL THRU MANY HARD YEARS. LISTEN GUYS, I HAVE LOVE THIS TEAM, AS MY FAMILY HAS, FOR YEARS. 7 BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE AU GRADS. 3 BROTHERS AND 2 BROTHER IN LAWS WHO WERE WAR WWII WAR HEROS . IN-LAWS THAT MEET AT AUBURN AND MARRIED AND LOVE THAT SCHOOL. I AM A 68 YR OLD PHARMACIST THAT GRADUATED IN ’65 AND HAVE LIVED TO SEE MY TIGERS WIN A NAT CHAMPIONSHIP! AUBURN DESERVES THAT TITLE FOR DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY. IT WILL BE A CRIME NOT TO REWARD THAT TEAM WITH THE 04 TITLE! AND IT IS SIMPLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO! DO THE RIGHT THING! REWARD EXCELLENCE AND A TEAM THAT WON IT THE RIGHT WAY! STEP UP AND DO THE HONORABLE THING! PLEASE DO THIS FOR ALL THE AUBURN FAMILY THAT FEELS THEY WERE CHEATED AND NOW BEING CHEATED AGAIN! SINCERELY, WILLIAM MADDOX, VALDOSTA, GA 31602

I couldnt agree more. I believe auburn was robbed of a chance ONLY because they played/scheduled the citadel? Thats not really a reason to not give them a chance.

The Sooners against top 25 teams (Won all 3)

Texas #6
Texas Tech #20
USC #1

The Trojans against top 25 teams (Won all 3)

California #7
Arizona State #15
Oklahoma #2

The Tigers against top 25 teams (Won all 5)

LSU #5
Tennessee #10 & #15 (Beat them twice)
Georgia #8
Virginia Tech #9

Its clear that Auburn shouldve gotten the chance.

By: 12-2
