The 2004 Auburn Tigers football team compiled a record of 13-0, winning the Southeastern Conference championship and finishing the season ranked #2 in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls. Beginning the season ranked #17 in the AP poll and #18 in the ESPN/USA Today poll, the Tigers were denied a berth in the BCS Championship game, due to finishing the regular season ranked #3 in the BCS rankings. Head coach Tommy Tuberville, who was nearly fired after the 2003 season, was named national Coach of the Year by the Associated Press.

The team defeated LSU, Georgia, and Tennessee, all of whom were ranked opponents. They were left out of the BCS National Title Game, and instead went to the Sugar Bowl, beating Virginia Tech 16-13, to finish 13-0. USC and Oklahoma ended up playing for the national title in the Orange Bowl. This was Auburn's third undefeated season in which they played over ten games.
