What people often overlook about Auburn is how GREAT their offensive line is. Their offensive line have completely dominated some really good defensive lines this year. It's a tremendous unit. I've always said an offense only needed three things to be a really successful unit: A great QB, a tremendous offensive line and a good offensive coach. Just look at the Saints the last couple years, the Patriots when they were winning all those Super Bowls, the Packers in the mid '90s, the Eagles before T.O. with Reid and McNabb, etc... All of those teams never had top running backs or elite #1 WRs but their QB, offensive line and offensive coaching were all tremendous and their offense was very successful. This year's Auburn team has all those things in spades. They have the best QB in the country. Malzahn is an offensive mastermind. Their offensive line is tremendous. Who really cares about their skill position players? That issue has been completely overblown all season long.

You won't see any Auburn fans overlooking the offensive line. That entire unit has been here since 2007, if you count A.J. Green who broke his leg against Clemson.
They were projected to be among the conference's best before the season, and it just so happens they are among the entire nation's best.
