It's still going to bear out most years that one of the Top 4 wins it all. There might be an outlier a time or two each decade.


Well the 8th seed won the first 12 team playoff. And only 1 team from the top 4 seeds has ever made the final 4.

Before SEC joins this 24 team playoff they should get a guarantee of no less then 6 teams from the conference are in playoff.


I’m a fan of this format. Keeps the SEC Championship and 4 SEC are automatically in, and there are 3 more wild card spots.

The two times A&M has beaten Bama, I was bourbon drunk in the garage bar, jamming classic country, and throwing darts. Gonna try again tomorrow.


Too bad it’s not an 11:00am kickoff. :lol:

re: LSU and Auburn should play every year

Auburn has had many "rivals", and playing each year has shifted with each expansion. The expansion of '92 created the LSU-Auburn rivalry. The same could be said for other SEC West teams - Ole Miss and Arkansas

Former Teams played yearly by Auburn:
Tennessee - 1956-1991
Florida - 1945-2002.
Miss State 1952-2023
Georgia Tech 1947-1987
LSU 1992 - 2023

*With this years schedule, Auburn renewed its rivalry game with Tenn, Florida, LSU, and Miss State.

Pretty sure this is correct.

Before we expanded to 9 games, everyone bitched about how many cupcakes other teams we were playing.

After we expanded, everyone is bitching about the schedule being too tough.

There’s a common denominator in this.


The common denominator is money. Money drives the 9-game schedule, and money drives the 24 team playoff.

As a 9 year old at the time, I got a home made Jaret Holmes Jersey from my grandmother after this. My first Iron Bowl as well. It was awesome!

2010 @ Kentucky
2020 Arkansas

Several OT games won by FG. Not sure if those count here.

re: Big clap for OL

Jacob Strand was getting dogged a ton playing LG at the beginning of this season. I think he had an excellent game at LT Saturday. Great in pass coverage and running to his side.

Saturday's OL:
LT - Strand
LG - Zierer
C - Best
RG - McManus
LG - Ramil


Strand has his guy on roller skates, Mabson great block, and WRs blocking. Brown had to make one miss and he did. Very great to see!

Have we ever played LSU at 11 at home before?


2002 was an 11:30 kickoff on Jefferson Pilot. LSU was 6-1 and ranked #10. Auburn was unranked, and 4-3. Auburn won big 31-7.

That wasn't even a particularly vicious crack-back block. Sucks they are "cracking" down on those blind-side hits. Having been on the both the giving and receiving side of those in HS, it really makes you have your head on a swivel next time.


Definitely blindside in today’s rules. They want players coming in to put their hands up and just get in their way in that situation. You can tell it’s coached that way nowadays. I can’t deny see that type of hit is entertaining. And was good of him not leading with the helmet. But that will called every time now.
This is the series that refs try to become infamous in. :lol:

A&M smoked Arkansas though.

Sure, but I'm saying big picture it's similiar.

The players made moves based on one reality, then it changed.


Ok. Yeah I guess in that case. I don’t know if the Auburn guy in OP ever had a chance under any rule or not.

Same situation with the LSU football players in that they'd made plans to sign with LSU and then the rules changed.


The NCAA didn’t change the rules. They made a 5 for 5 rule that was not supposed to be implemented until the 2027-2028 year. Then players sued for their 5th year(not LSU but layers originally). Then the “LSU Football players” didn’t make it on to an NFL squad and tried to join the team in week 0 of the football season.

The Auburn guy in the OP, enrolled at Auburn in June. I assume he doesn’t want the 5 for 5 rule to apply. So it is pretty much the exact opposite situation.

Schools like JMU also supplement their football team from student fees. With JMU pulling 53M from students fees. Kinda wild.
