re: When was the last time a team won the title with an average defense?

FSU will seem like they have 13 men on the field because of their athleticism. Watch any tape of their defense and youll see. They dont care if you csn block because they'll be everywhere on the field.

And to compare 2010's defense to this one is ridiculous. Nick Fairley was a top 5 player that year and dominated offensive lines. Auburn has a few good players but nothing like Fairley
