I understand your reluctance to look at FACTS, but the fact is, AU needed a last second TD to beat an MSU team that is only slightly better than Kentucky. Needed an off week and a pick 6 to beat an OM team that was physically pummeled the week before at Alabama, an injury to JFF to beat TAMU, and were beat down at LSU. Lets not forget Washington St., a REALLY crappy team, was unlucky not to win their game at AU. These are FACTS. Combine these facts, and now, AU fans are talking as if their team is on the same level as Bama. You can only have that attitude if you don't look at FACTS.

You could have easily said AU is 7-1.

Experienced upperclassmen and phenom freshman, they'll be fine. The rotation has worked very well, especially late in the game.

You have 8 other lineman as good as the starters?


Pretty interchangeable for the most part, but not all equal in talent.

I hope both Bama and Auburn keep it up and both come into the game in the Top Ten and the Iron Bowl is the biggest game of the year.

This is where the game is trending.

Alabama vs. Auburn @ JHS will be a championship game.

I don't know how I feel about that.

The Iron Bowl does not occur for another 4 weeks. AU is concerned with the Pigs this weekend. Then Tenn., then Georiga, and finally we can begin the large discussion over the Iron Bowl.

Mississippi State almost beat Auburn..I'm not sure how one escapes from that and becomes suddenly a team that can hang with Alabama

AU barely beat a lot of teams in 2010. Nevertheless, as I said, Iron Bowl is still a ways off.

Who says Bama automatically beats LSU? Who says AU automatically wins the rest of their games? I believe AU does, but we can discuss them as they come.

Because Auburn would have beat LSU had they not shite the bed in the 1st quarter. It's all transitive.

We beat them by like 2 points in 2010 and the rest of that season turned out pretty okay

And they actually had a very good team that year. This year, not so much. They'll go 5-7
