re: Is AU 2014 the Texas A&M of 2013?

Even as bad as our defense was we were a few plays away from 12-1 (and 7-6). We towed that thin line all year and came out pretty even. Had we had Auburn's string of luck, it's pretty easy to come up with a scenario where we are playing for the national title game as well.

It's unlikely, but if their defense is poor again and they don't catch the same breaks I could see them winning 8-9 games.
