re: Auburn University, the new "Thug U" according to this article on

I'm likely as big of a proponent of that team as you'll find. They had a couple close games against underrated teams that they overlooked. When focused, I'm not convinced any team in history would stay within 3 touchdowns of that squad if they played through the entire game without letting up once it was out of hand. Some teams like Bama last year would matchup better with them because of their style of play, but I still don't think it would be that close in the end. As far as the top teams this year, they would be thoroughly embarrassed in that matchup.
