Auburn has had an unbelievable season but.........their best wins are MTSU, @ Tennessee, and Arkansas.
Duke, Virginia, Arizona, Villanova, Purdue, etc are a different monster at this point. Doesn't mean Auburn couldn't hang tough, but they haven't beaten (or really played) an elite team yet.
They should be 23-2 and 11-1 in the SEC when Kentucky comes to town in February to start a tough stretch run (#13 UK, @ #53 USCe, #29 Bama, @ #36 Florida, @ #22 Arky).

Agreed. We should be ranked around #10 and either a 2 or 3 seed if the season ended today. I don't think we will be able to beat the top teams with really good bigs (Duke, Purdue, Arizona, etc)

Anyone is beatable this season imo.
Tennessee is solid, not great (Auburn is better right now) and beat Purdue and played Villanova very very tight on a neutral floor.
It’s a shame that AU didn’t play a better OOC schedule so we would have a better idea of how good they are, but I don’t think anyone except Duke (if they ever get things together) is that much better than AU. Nova and Arizona probably scare me 2nd and 3rd most though Sean Miller can’t get over the Elite 8 hump.
