re: Why did people think Auburn wasn't the best team in the SEC this year?

Because most people thought they were a 9-3 team that got lucky last year.

Anyone who watched all four quarters of those games with a critical, unbiased eye (as opposed to catching a few highlights on ESPN), knows that Auburn wasn't lucky but rather their opponents were lucky to be in a position to win in the first place. No doubt we caught some spectacular breaks in the closing moments but a game is 60 minutes long.

We outplayed everyone for most of the year. A terrible quarter against LSU and FSU did us in and nearly cost us the UGA game. Show me a great SEC team that doesn't have a few letdown quarters.
