re: What the hell is with all the Auburn hype?

I'm a bit confused, was the season flukey becuase of the events that transpired in it (kick 6 and the uga game) or because we haven't gone back to back 10 win seasons?

I promise, despite how you may be taking this, I'm not trying to bash your team. I'll try to simplify it since I'm clearly not doing a good job of communicating my thought process.

I am of the opinion that many people consider AU's 2013 to be "flukey" due to A) some extremely rare plays that benefited AU and B) the fact that it is an outlier season from a success standpoint. If AU had the type of consistent success of an Oregon, a Bama, or an OSU then people wouldn't discount the success in 2013 as much. However, since AU hasn't consistently had consecutive successful seasons as of late, those people do not give AU the same benefit of doubt that Oregon, OSU, or Bama might receive in similar situations.
