Iron Bowl/Egg Bowl - Would you have believed it at the beginning of the season

Since Bama is one of the IB teams and the EB teams are both from Mississippi, I wouldn't have been shocked at all.

Doesn't the Egg Bowl historically decide last place in the west?

Usually, but there's the frequent occasion in which Arkansas comes in last also

Yeah, doesn't change the fact they frequently come in last in the west and idk if LSU has ever come in last in the division

I hate anyone assuming anything about UGA/AU.

Eh, this stuff is overstated a little I think.

Two of the top 3 teams in the west most years battling for the west? Not that crazy even in a year like this. Sure, AU expectations were low, but a lot of people predicted us to win 8 games.

Two of the SEC's traditionally bad teams fighting for the last spot? Not that surprising either.

Now, if AU beats UGA and Bama and goes 10-2 and wins the SEC, then yeah, at that point I think we're far enough from expectations that it is a little shocking.

No. 3 is coming soon

Maybe fans, which even then most AU posters were praying for 8 wins. Not the media. In most polls, AU and State were typically ranked #6 and #7 in conference.

I guess this is more surprising because Ole Miss was a dark horse to win the SEC and in most polls were behind Bama in the #2 spot.

That face is haunting.

Looks normal to me
