re: What Auburn has to lose

It's not easy to go 10-1 in this conference and be ranked in the top 5 entering the last week of the season. To expect to accomplish this every year is unrealistic.

The success of this Auburn team and staff should certainly be applauded. With that said, if the game is still in doubt entering the 4th quarter and AU doesn't win, I can't imagine there won't be any disappointment from the AU faithful. Of course the team will be praised for acquitting themselves well. But to watch your rival celebrate a berth to a conference championship game on your field after winning a game that you could have won... When you know that could have been you... There is disappointment in that moment.

Both teams have a lot at stake.
