because the gumps are apathetic about this one.
After 40+ years of watching this game 2 things are almost always true (I say almost again).
1) Its closer than expected
2) The better team wins
There are very few exceptions. 1972 and 2013 come to mind. I went to both game and each was won on fluke plays.

Absent the Kick Six, we would have played OT, Auburn with momentum, and the better kicker. Granted, Bama should have won that game and had plenty of chances to do so (and would have kicked the !@#$ out of FSU).
Much as I hate it, I see a pretty comfortable win for Bama this year.

There are very few exceptions. 1972 and 2013 come to mind.
1972: AU was #8 AP, 8-1, with the lone loss to #11 LSU
2013: AU was #4 AP, 10-1, with the lone loss to #15 LSU
So it's not like they were huge upsets.
