A&M beating Auburn last year has as much relevance to this year's performance as Auburn winning the national championship in 2010. That is, zero. Unless, of course, both teams have the exact players and coaches that they did last year, and each plays exactly the same in 2015 as they did in 2014.
Now, Malzahn going 13-2 and losing to FSU in the title game two years ago at least shows that he can win the SEC as a head coach. Especially when boneheaded Saban decided to try a 59-yard FG and leave his fat-arse O-line in there to defend a kick return.

Yes, because comparing two teams with 70%+ of the same players and coaches on each team as before is the same as comparing teams with 0% of the same.

38-17. Fear the thumb. 50 yd line. 21-0.
Nah, in all seriousness, the linemen were probably selected over special teams players in order to help block for a long range field goal. With smaller players, he would have risked OT or a block field goal return for a loss. Auburn had the momentum either way. He was coaching to win.
