For those thinking Auburn is a national title contender, consider this: The Tigers haven’t won a road non-con game against a BCS/Power 5 team since 1997, when Terry Bowden’s Auburn team went into Charlottesville and beat Virginia 28-17. Auburn hasn’t won a non-con game against a team west of the Mississippi since a victory over TCU in 1980.

I love it when some reporters and bookies use trends from previous teams and coaching staffs to justify their picks. First of all, AU (and most SEC Teams) does not play OC away games very much.

AU also has 12 days to prepare for KSU after playing San Jose State on Sept 6th.
