The ONLY explanation is coaching.


I don't agree with that. The reason I said "appears" is that I'm not sold on that idea, because if you take away the championship run, they've been right on par with the level of talent they're producing. They outperformed their talent level one year. The rest look to be pretty normal.

That's not a knock on Auburn, just an opinion.

Would Auburn have won even 10 games in 2010 without Cam Newton? I have my doubts. Thankfully for Auburn fans, and unfortunately for the rest of the SEC, we'll never find out

So Miles is on par with Saban with less talent

A friend and I were discussing this recently. We came to the conclusion that any 2010 West team, besides Ole Miss, would have won the SEC with Cam. What says the rant?

PS Not a flame, Auburn was incredible and deserved the Natty with that team. Best college football player I have ever seen

I love how this only work for Auburn.

take off the best player on any team and they dont do as well...shocking I know.

Looks like Bama, UF, and UGA cant seem to win a NT without a Heisman candidate either...but only Au gets that albatross around its neck.

Kind of makes your argument pointless.
