Personally, I think we're playing with house money. And most MU fans, if they were honest with you, would say they're hoping the third time is the charm. In the last 7 years we've been to three CCG in two different conferences now. The first two didn't end well, the first because we couldn't run the ball (especially after we lost our starting RB for the second half), and the second when OU and Sam Bradford curb stomped our nonexistent defense.
A lot of people have given HCGP a lot of grief over that, but to his credit he's adjusted and worked to address those issues. Both areas are vastly improved since those first two games. That's what gives a lot of us hope or confidence we can get over the hump. This team can run the ball and the defense has a pulse. This team is much more well rounded than the first two, and without the fatal flaws, although this team has some imperfections as well.
As far as the media, everyone was shocked about the way Auburn won the game with Bama, and they certainly look the part of the team of destiny right now. So I can understand the bandwagon that's formed for them, and good for them. I don't begrudge them the attention-they've earned it, even if you could call they way they have done it pretty fortunate and rare, to put it mildly.
Besides, we've been playing the underdog/chip on the shoulder routine all year, you expect us to stop now?

Really what you have is two teams playing with a similar mentality. Neither disrespects the other and I am sure both teams will be bringing all they got because there are no other games for several weeks.
Both teams are well coached and have a desire to prove something to people. It will come down to execution and the one who makes the least amount of mistakes. Should be a good matchup.
