Was 2013 Auburn a fluke season?

Just like 2010? Auburn was maybe 5th or 6th most talented team in the SEC but they certainly over-achieved with great coaching and an insane amount of luck.

I wouldn't be surprised if Auburn loses 4-5 games a season over the next few years. The league is way too competitive.

In as much Tennessee was a fluke program, apparently.

Only if Tennessee losing for a decade straight is considered a fluke, then yes.

And this is the biggest failed flame attempt I've seen in a long time.. it failed like Tennessee's football program.

It fails like Cuonzo Martin.
It fails like Derek Dooley and Lane Kiffin.
It fails like pumpkin orange on a jersey.
It fails like the seating at Neyland Stadium.
It fails like Eric Berry's Heisman chances.
It fails like Pat Summitt's memory. (please forgive me)

Wrong board but yes.

3 fluke but deserved wins vs GA, Bama, and A&M for staying in them long enough to pull it off at the end.

A team of destiny if I've ever seen one. 2001 tOSU is the closest I've seen to it. Followed by 2010 Auburn

Yes, but that's not a huge indictment against Auburn.

Any champion in any sport in any year has to have quite a few breaks go their way. It's just the nature of sport, tbh.

Give Auburn credit for being in a position for those breaks to matter.

Exactly. If Kentucky had gotten a few breaks this year, they would be in the BCSNC game.

Every team that has played for a BCS has relied on luck to get there. Auburn certainly had some luck along the way, but they also put themselves in position to take advantage of that luck, and played some really good football along the way.

We still probably had a closer shot than UofL with that high school schedule.

Well we did beat UK blinded folded. The convincing win over the U yesterday should earn us some street cred. I think next season in the ACC we will surprise quite a few people.
