If Auburn had bothered to play anyone noteworty on its non-conference schedule then they could have made a better beef.

But they shouldn't have had to make any "beef." They should have been given the opportunity to play USC instead of that overrated Oklahoma team.

"[Auburn] should have been given the opportunity to play USC instead of that overrated Oklahoma team."

That's what SC was saying last year about being the odd man out. The big difference was that SC finished the regular season rated #1 in the major polls. Auburn never got higher than a tie for #2, for one week, in one poll.
