why are Auburn fans rattled so easily? they throw a hissy fit if you do anything but say they're the best team in America.
Sounds like AU has made big improvements over last year - they still have a lot to prove and the real meat of their schedule is ahead of them. While UT had a brutal front-loaded schedule. IMHO, if y'all had swapped schedules, I could easily see y'all having the exact same records that you have now. AU 3-3 with likely losses to Oregon-@FLA-UGA, and UT with a loss to LSU.

what a stupid comment. You have no way on knowing what would happen in a hypothetical game.

Yeah, if UT and UGA dont play, Marshall doesnt get hurt and UGA beats Mizzou.

AU goes to Oregon and Mariotta blows his ACL on a scramble...CU is #2.


Nonsense.

There are only 2 bowl games I'd be willing to travel to this year.

The Sugar. Our first and only chance a BCS bowl + its in New Orleans, never been.

Chic-Fil-A. Only due to proximity and it might give us a chance to play an old ACC rival or something.

Cap One and Outback? Been there, too far away for a non-BCS bowl game.

Anything less = severely disappointing season.

Simmer down parkjas.

All I'm saying is in hindsight, looking at who both UT and AU have played, and how those games turned out, I could see AU at 3-3 with UT's schedule and UT at 5-1 with AU's schedule.

In reality, UT will be more battle tested than AU when y'all head into Neyland. And if UT can stay injury free in the next 3 weeks, then they will challenge your Tigers and "could" make it to a bowl game...

Lol I wrote for BleacherReport. All you have to do is make up an article, spell all your words correctly and use stats to back it up and you're in.

I wrote blatantly Alabama-sided pieces and got hundreds of thousands of reads. It isn't hard, but also no one gives a shite if you write it.

You still don't know that... IMO, if UF played like they did against UT that day (turnovers, mistakes, etc) then Auburn could easily beat that team... same goes for UGA... similar circumstances and Auburn could beat one or both of UF and UGA.

And it's not just UT's won/loss record, it's how they've looked... getting destroyed by Oregon... needed a last minute stand to beat an average SunBelt team... offense looking like crap with the backup QB in Gainesville.

Florida had 3 turnovers in that game, UT had 6.
