BJCrawford 1,568 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Color me surprised. They were talking about Auburn and saying the committee respects the team. Seems so opposite of our fan base (not starting a controversy here, just found it interesting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 1,948 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 we are top 15 team. Thanks mostly to a stellar defense but a top 15 team none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many...most...of the coaches, too! 😉 Thanks for posting this though...it just flashed across the screen, and it's nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnEagle79 2,162 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 There are only 6 teams in the nation that I think would beat us, and 3 of them already have. With half of an offense, we beat those 3. So frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a good day, any team in the top 25 could beat Auburn on the road. Did you see what ole miss did to LSU’s defense? Crazy! They had 400 yards rushing and a total of 600. Now LSU had 700 yards of offense, so their win was never in question. I guess the committee, however, does not agree with your assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that I think would for sure beat us neutural site would be LSU, Clemson, tOSU, UAt (with Tua), UGA, UF. Maybe throw in Oklahoma, but that would be it. Our defense is legit, and nobody else in the Top 25 would be in that class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURealist 2,185 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 All that #15 for a paltry $7M per year. Time to sweeten the pot with a raise and extension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gathered from some chat today we might be higher but the committee does not want to have a 3 loss team rated any higher. Just my O and B glasses but I would take AU on a neutral site over about half the teams ranked above us including UF in a rematch.... Doesn't do us much good but the team is better than many AU people give credit for...JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't beat quality opponents on the road if you can't score and have a gimmicky head coach at the helm. Outside of Oregon, what was the last ranked team Gus beat on the road, not named A&M?

Same thing the AP poll did giving A&M a BS ranking when it came time for them to play Bama. Memphis and Cincy should be ahead of us, 1 loss is 1 loss.

Outside of Oregon, what was the last ranked team Gus beat on the road, not named A&M? I'm not making a point for our offense. I think we are averaging 21 against ranked teams. I think our defense would hold everyone but about 6-7 teams to less than 21. I also said neutural site since that's how the CFP works. You're the one that keeps bringing up road games. We need a new coach, everyone knows it, but our defense is still the best out there. Because of that, we would beat most teams with the exception of those listed.
