Somewhat ambiguous phrasing of the question by ESPN. If you believe the title is tainted, it doesn't necessarily also mean you believe that Auburn cheated. Mere allegations can taint peoples' perception, but it doesn't mean that those people are completely committed to believing that Auburn did cheat.

ESPN should have just made a poll that says: "Do you think Auburn cheated?"

disagree... it's more of a PC way of wording it, but not ambiguous.

that poll DID ask people if they thought auburn cheated. the perception is an overwhelming and resounding "yes."

i mean... we can all agree on that.

3/4's is a lot bro.


Also, a quarter of Americans don't know who we fought in the Revolutionary War.

Spoken like a true auburn. This is how they justify buying any player they can corrupt.

LSU's '03 team would murder both the '04 and '10 auburn squads.....and it wouldn't even be close.

Don't forget, AU had 7 games decided by 1 score or less this season. They weren't exactly rolling over people.

04 and 10 teams would beat either of those teams by a td atleast.



not


AU's 04 team was OK, but couldn't carry LSU '03's jock. Now AU '10...well let's just say they got really lucky most of the teams in the SEC had some glaring problems. The SEC really did have a down year this year. Thank goodness there were no really dominate teams nationally. It allowed one of the weakest SEC champs in a while to win the national title again.

I respectfully disagree.

This team was stronger than both Florida in 2006 and possibly LSU in 2007.

That's cool. We'll never know.

Again, we'll never know, but I will say this is the first year I thought the SEC champion could probably lose. I really wouldn't have been surprised.

I KNEW that the previous SEC champs were going to win and win pretty big. It was just something about the way the SEC went down this year.

It's just that when you guys only beat us by a TD and we had one of the worst offensive performances I can remember us having (even during the year we were ion the bottom 10% of offenses in the NCAA) I knew yall were as vulnerable as an SEC champion has ever been.

I'm not saying Auburn from 2004 could beat LSU from 2003, but I feel they matched up pretty well.

I feel that the SEC felt like it was down simply because Florida wasn't elite and the rest of the east sans South Carolina sucked nuts.

The SEC West was pretty legit imo.
