ChaddScott 57 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Been a LONG time since Auburn played in this game; I don't think any Tiger fan would be complaining about the trip. http://gridironnow.com/college-football-playoff-bowl-projections-week-6/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, much of the rhetoric on this site over the last week was people who were disappointed with an Ole Miss blowout. Most people on this board wouldn't be happy with anything less than a playoff berth, although a trip to the Orange Bowl would be pretty exciting.

Auburn 6 101 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Orange Bowl vs Miami to save you a couple clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The SEC needs better bowl tie-ins for non Big 6 games to freshen things up. Screw Birmingham, Memphis, and Shreveport. You think the Las Vegas bowl would turn down an SEC tie-in? Hell no! And that place is a lot more fun. While we're at it, let's poach the Alamo Bowl and Pinstripe Bowl. Sure NYC is cold, but it's a great place to see during the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I like it! Hopefully that includes a win over Uga. That is the biggest game on the schedule for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I vote we play UGA in our bowl game so we can beat them TWICE this year. Tired of losing to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strychnine 1,802 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The thing that jumps out to me is projecting Florida State playing Oregon, which I think is overly optimistic. Florida State has a pretty tough road ahead just to get bowl eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Delaware State left on the schedule as a rent-a-win, but I would not be surprised if they lose their road trip to Duke this weekend. Then they get Louisville, which I suspect they lose. Boston College and Syracuse could go either way, then they have road trips to Clemson and Florida. Every team left on their schedule that is not named Delaware State smells blood in the water (and even Delaware State might). Florida State has very clearly illustrated this year how completely pointless preseason rankings are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve 194 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 We run the table and beat UGA again in the SEC title game. CFP ends up with 1. Clemson, 2. Auburn, 3. Bama, 4. Penn State. We beat Bama again and then get to finish the year by getting revenge on Clemson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, Washington and Wazzou are still contenders, as are TCU and perhaps even Oklahoma if they win out. An undefeated PAC-12 Champion, or an undefeated (or perhaps even one loss) Big 12 Champion is not likely to be sitting at home while Alabama gets yet another Playoff slot after failing to win to their division or conference. I really do think the Committee is very disinterested in including two teams from the same conference (one of which that failed to win it), unless they have absolutely no other viable options.

Last year I was coming home at the end of my work week riding on Delta out of Newark. I always sport my AU lapel pin and lanyard while in uniform and got more "War Eagles" than I could count. Most of the airplane was wearing orange and blue on their way home from watching the basketball team play at MSG. We severely outnumbered the Jawja lead flight attendant and Flawridah captain I'm still hoping for more out of this season, but a New Years Six bowl is not shabby.

A New Year's Six Bowl or better would be great. My attitude towards bowl games though is that if we aren't in the playoff, the game doesn't really matter. At that point, I just want to go somewhere fun. Take last year for example. Had a blast even though we got drilled because NOLA is awesome. But Birmingham, Shreveport, or a few others in the SEC bowl bucket? No thanks. Let's keep Orlando, Tampa, Nashville, & maybe Houston. After that, I'm down for new suggestions. Vegas would be #1 on my list, especially with a new pro stadium being built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn has to win every weekend for it to be viable. Given the state of the SEC this year (for teams not named Auburn, Alabama, or Georgia), there are several circumstances that end with a one-loss SEC Champion watching the playoffs at home. There are also several circumstances where Auburn would be the only one loss SEC team worthy of being included. SEC wins pale in comparison to the road the Big 12 and Big 10 champions will have had to pave to get those trophies. It is October and only three SEC teams are in the top 25, and they are the only three that deserve to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
