the turning point of the year was the 2nd half of the LSU game (moral victories do count for teams lacking confidence) and AU might have caught a couple of teams by sneaking up on them but after A&M EVERYONE knew that Auburn was a very good team. The ESPN guys are just lazy and use the same old worn out cliche`s.

Exactly and that is my only point for making this thread. The ESPN and others are just lazy parrots of each other. That or just kinda dumb. Or more likely, a combination of the two.

I have nothing against Auburn; but I will never understand why Auburn grads/students continue to point to last season's A&M game as some kind quality indicator.
The outcome very easily could (should?) have gone the other way.
A win that was the result of a controversial/bad call--for which the officials subsequently apologized--doesn't make a team "world beaters."
I'll tip my hat where credit is due (e.g., the overall season), but if I were an Auburn grad, I wouldn't continue to point out that game, as if it's proof of anything.
