quote:

I've done 25 of these interviews and nobody brings up Auburn, and they are really good," Danielson said in the recent interview. "For an SEC champion, they have really been able to fly under the radar. I think Gus Malzahn is as much of a genius on offense as (Alabama coach Nick) Saban is on defense. It's really interesting to see them float below the radar like this."

Now that the paper bandwagon from athens has again imploded, more talk will shift west.

Danielson is a moron like usual. It is tough to say Auburn is completely flying under the radar when they are the second highest rated SEC team in both polls

Auburn is ranked top 5 in every poll I've seen.
Not sure what more they could want at this point?

When you look at who is being talked about the most and projected to be in the playoffs, Danielson is correct.

Not really. A lot of people leaving Auburn out of the playoff are only doing it because other teams play easier schedules

Nobody brings them up because they haven't played a big game yet. It's not disrespect so much as we have no measuring stick to evaluate them. Same thing with Bama it's not like people are putting them in the playoff right now.

The only thing we can do is assume that they are a top 10 team based on the information we have.

After next weekend I suspect a lot of people will be talking about Auburn.

I agree with Danielson.

Auburn is being barely discussed. Considering Auburn looks better on offense than they did last year, you'd think the national analysts would be referring to Auburn in the same vein as Florida State, Oklahoma, and Oregon.

Also flying under the radar is Alabama. Barely anyone is talking about Alabama on a national level yet Alabama is ranked #2. For a team to be 2nd in the polls, you'd expect the quarterback situation to be one of the hot topics, but I hear very little about Alabama outside of the Paul Finebaum show.

I do think if Auburn can put 40+ points on Kansas State and keep Kansas State below 21 points, ESPN will wake up to what kind of team Malzahn has right now.

I'm sure if y'all would've played yesterday there would've been plenty of Auburn talk. I heard plenty even though y'all didn't play. Certainly don't think anyone in the SEC is underestimating AU. Personally the game at JHS is the one on the schedule that bothers me the most.

We are getting exactly what we want

No big talk and it will stay that way for a few more weeks.

Do people still say this?

Because I mean, the evidence says the man can't devise a defense to consistently defend a high-quality spread offense to save his life....

We must be talking about "old" Nick Saban.

.....but Gus is just a glorified HS coach. You Arky fans need to get together and figure out your shtick on the Gus situation.
