Why do Texas A&M fans really believe this game would be close, or that they might even pull out the win?
First of all Auburn played a ton of close games in 2010. You blew out five teams (not counting Arkansas as that game was back and forth for 56 minutes or so) of which two were mid-majors, one an FCS program and another was 4-8 Ole Miss. The only impressive blowout was USC part II. You beat MSU by 3, Clemson by 3, USC part I by 8, Kentucky by 3, LSU by 7, Bama by 1 and Oregon by 3. A&M was better than at least four of those teams you played within a single score. You won your 14 games by an average of 17 PPG.
Meanwhile, A&M blew out 8 teams in 2012 and won their 11 games by an average of 27.9 PPG. We had five games decided by a single score and four of them were against ranked teams.
It's very unlikely given the statistical trends that game wouldn't at least be close.
