Let's get real here. If Auburn and Bama played again next week on a nuetral field, anyone going to put your house on Auburn? Bama had that game won and Saban let his ego get in his way.
Think about how the aTm vs Aub game went. FSU has that much balance between run/pass but with a better stable of RB's. FSU has the WR's to do what Mizzu did and the RB's to gain yards in chunks. Both teams can run but FSU has a huge advantage with the pass. Total offense...you can't seriously call that anything more than a draw. Take the passing game into consideration and you would have to give the edge to FSU.
FSU's defense (in talent) is up there with Bama's but might actually be a better match against Auburn. FSU might have 7/8 faster defenders in the box than Bama did. There is absolutely no question that the huge edge on defense goes to FSU.

No one.
Auburn has had an amazing get hot streak the last 3 weeks.
If this were March Madness and the Title Game was next Saturday - I'd ride Auburn all the way.
But the title game is a month away. The feel-good miracle wins will wear off.
FSU's talent takes over IMO.

How did Bama have the game won when it was tied before the field goal?
Auburn probably would have beaten Bama in OT.
Lots of revisionist history with that game.
