The problem with the claim of "4 top ten wins" is the assumption that a team's ranking at the time they played Auburn accurately reflects their ranking at the end of the season. When the final polls come out, Auburn will have likely beaten only one top ten team (Georgia) whereas, for example, OK can claim to have beaten two top five teams (USC and Texas) or USC can claim to have beaten two top ten teams (Cal and OK).
Auburn is a fine time and will likely end up ranked number two in both polls--but there is no way I would put Auburn above an undefeated team that beats the #1 or #2 ranked team in the nation.
Then if it were up to you, would you at least let them play the #1 or #2 team?
