re: Curious why 2004 was virtually a non issue?

Just for the record, it was USC and Oklahoma. Not Texas in 2004.
Who are "they" that are outraged? ESPN?
Seems to me ESPN has been pumping Alabama the last few weeks. Why I'm not sure. There is a great deal of backlash against this game.
No one wants to see a rematch when there is another deserving that won a conference that top to bottom is probably the best. Quantitatively, Alabama is pretty weak.

but how do they justify their outrage over OSU being left out when they got beat by a NOBODY while Bama got beat in OT by the #1 team in the nation?

It would seem that ESPN et al are all quite inconsistent in expressing their indignant outrage over the system.

I don't think it goes that far. I think it's quite simply stated that nobody wants to see a rematch PERIOD, and that's what this is really all about. USC played in the Pac 10 that didn't even have a conference championship game, using a parlay instead, and yet no issue was made of that when ridiculing OU for stumbling as the reason it should have been USC rather than OU in the NCG in 03.
Their reasoning changes with the wind, and they are quite inconsistent. It all depends on what argument they choose to embrace at the time. USC is s larger market than Auburn, as is Texas...
34 Million people > 25 million people > 5 million people
and
302 Million people who are not in Alabama > 5 Million people who are
Just my .02
