Ok then, tell me the macro on why I, as a Georgia fan first and foremost, should want Auburn to win the biggest game possible.


If the SEC perceived strength gets diminished any more.

#3 UGA 1 loss
#2 Oregon 1 loss
#1 TCU undefeated

NC: Oregon/TCU

We want to have an automatic bid into the NC. If we are perceived as the same strength as the rest of the conferences, we will not get that nod.

Lol. You are using a very specific hypothetical scenario that may or may not happen. If Auburn wins what WILL happen is 1)They will have a much better pitch in recruiting, 2)Their fans will be unbearable 3)It will make their program overall as a whole look better. My 3 things are definite, you just made something up.

And your argument is incredibly flawed anyway. The polls don't take into account the past. LSU won the NC in 2003, why didn't that catapult AU into the top 2 in 2004? Would things have been different had UT won the NC in 2001? No. Seasons are looked at for what they are, what happened in the past doesn't mean shite. In your scenario, people wouldn't say "Georgia looks pretty good, but WAIT...Auburn lost to Oregon last year. Yep, let's bump Georgia down a spot." To think that's what would happen is flat out ludicrous.
