Jason Campbell led Auburn would not have beaten 2004 USC. But after comparing the schedules, Auburn should have been in the NCG over Oklahoma, although there is a lot of toss up. But OU was definitely a better decision, based on $$$. Jason White/Adrian Peterson vs Matt Leinart/Reggie Bush.
I am not trying to take anything away from Jason Campbell/Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown, but they weren't hyped like White and Peterson was. Peterson was less than 100 yards shy of 2,000 rushing yards as a freshman. I personally think he deserved Heisman that year.
