It will be the same as most years. AU, bama, and LSU fighting for the west with the rest fighting for 4th place.


2008, 2009, 2011, & 2012 suggest this statement is laughable. Oh and I promise you will still be in the cool Auburn club if you capitalize Bama.

Auburn has to be the favorite, but again, they had 10 miracle wins last year, so how good are they really?

By calling your UGA, MSU, and Bama wins flukes?


Yeah. UGA was a fluke (although Murray clearly wasn't in, that's a different story)

MSU is called a game winning drive. I guess those are flukes now?

Bama game: Gus called a timeout and switched to put Davis back there after seeing them lineup. Auburn had all the momentum and reasonable Bama fans will tell you they were not confident going into OT (hence trying a 57 yarder)

I'm sure Gus drew up the kick trajectory and set up blocking schemes during the timeout too.

You're better than this.

Auburn would have won in OT, I believe. They were controlling the LOS on both sides of the ball in the second half and never having to take the ball off of the ground in OT is great for obvious reasons.

Even a lot of Bama fans on here have said this. It was a ridiculous set of events, but it probably didn't change the ultimate outcome.

Why would he need to draw up the trajectory? Is it not the kickers job to aim for the goal post?

And blocking schemes? is that not part of a play

The Kick Six was definitely improbable, but not luck. It was a once-in-a-generation play, but it wasn't lucky. Lucky is the UGA game.

So, you're honestly saying with a straight face, that wasn't luck?

Auburn's RBs were three yards downfield before being touched in that second half.

I haven't seen a Nick Saban run defense get pushed around that much since Georgia Southern in 2011.

that's what happens when you were losing to State and Georgia and tied with Alabama in the last minute of the game. 3 fluke wins is what I see.

The frick are you talking about? The fact that a kid couldn't make a 57 yard FG was luck? It should have been expected

He had his return guys in and had them set a wall, so yeah

If you consider most every successful play luck, then yes

The fact a 100+ yard return goes untouched was luck.


That's not a common play by any stretch.
