I hope the rest of the AU fanbase doesn't agree with you b/c your comments come off that AU is too chickensh!t to play anybody good outside of SEC play.
Thats fine. Bowl committess dont look at teams that are "too chickenshit" to play a decent team. They look at teams with wins and who will put butts in seats. The playoff will look at overall SOS and the SEC will cover that for all of us...so the only ppl who think AU is "too chickenshit" dont really have any say.

An early loss out of conference to a Top 10 doesn't really hurt you.
Imagine this scenario, TEAM A losses by 7 the first week of the season to #4 ranked team in the nation. (TEAM opponent goes on and wins their respected conference 11-1) SEC record 6-2 Overall record 9-3. (8 TV games)
TEAM B beats New Mexico St. University the first week of the season by 42. (New Mexico ST finishes 7-5) SEC record 6-2 Overall record 10-2 (7 TV games)
In my opinion TEAM A is more appealing to the Bowls b/c of body of work. Bowls want teams that travel well and have good TV ratings
