Would Auburn even be in a bowl without Newton this year?

I still don't even know how good we can really say Chizik is as a coach. As an outsider it comes off as Malzahn and Newton have done mostly everything. I think next two years will really tell how good Chizik really is as a HC.

C'mon. There are 35 bowl games now. Any team that manages to scrape together 6 wins is going bowling, and keep in mind you can typically chalk up 4 wins before the season even starts unless you are Vandy.

Last year, Auburn - with no Cam and a new coaching staff - won the Outback bowl. And we had a LOT of problems to fix heading into last season.

If Auburn wins the NC this year, then they will have WON - not just played in but WON - every single bowl an SEC team can play in during the past 15 years, with the exception of the Gator Bowl which was added this year and that crappy Birmingham bowl which was added a few years ago.

Think about that. In a relatively short window, we will have WON the BCS, Sugar, Citrus (Cap One), Cotton, Outback, Peach, Independence, Music City, etc...

What other school can claim that?
