Not trying to explain it away. You guys won and should be incredibly proud of it. No AU fan (or Bama fan, unfortunately) will ever forget that game. Winning in OT wasn't a given for either team. Winning in that ultra-rare fashion coming off the ultra-rare type win against uga is part of reason people point to the unique (or as someone else said "fluke") nature of that season. The other factor is that AU hasn't been able to show that level of performance consistently from season to season. Win double digit games back to back a few times and people will start giving more credit to the seasons like you had in 2013 instead of claiming that season is the outlier.

Eh I'm pretty confident we would have won.

Either way IF auburn had won in an average overtime fashion do bama fans then still try to demean that season by calling it fluky?

Not that it matters because lets be honest either fanbase is going to find something with which to try to demean the other's accomplishments, I just wonder if that rally cry would be the same.

Guess it's a good thing we're not coming off a good season then. Seems like that's a mark in favor of hyping auburn this year.

So we're getting hype, but you guys are complaining of hype and you're saying we need to get back to back 10 win seasons to justify the hype we're already getting. That doesn't make much sense.
