around4ever 4,139 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Last week we were 81 points behind OSU, this week we are 25 points behind them in the Coaches Poll. Last week OSU had 1428 pts and we had 1268... Difference of 160 pts in the coaches. You are correct. My screen moved and I looked at the wrong poll. 160 points down to 25 is even better.

TXaubie 567 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 They do have a 2 lose South Carolina ahead of a 1 lose Michigan State. Y'all are right it could get very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 That idiot Brady Hoke, cost Michigan a possible victory. I know he said that he took a vote from his seniors to go for 2 points. In my honest opinion, Hoke should have made the smart call, and have told the seniors that they would have a good chance to win in OT. OSU could have very well won the game in OT, but that is something we will never know. Michigan State has a great team, and are very capable of beating OSU. We will win the SEC Championship!! If anyone doubts this team now, they need to give it up, go home, and never watch or listen to another Auburn football game. This team will do their part to be NCs for 2013. Auburn Magic is real and very alive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle84 0 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 that is absurd, if the OSU played the turds next week on a neutral field, the turds would be a double digit favorite. ahem ... they were a double-digit favorite against us yesterday ... and probably would be at least a 7-point favorite if we played again next week. And FWIW, tOSU was also a double-digit favorite against Michigan yesterday. Don't put much stock in betting lines. They can't account for heart.

Auburn Magic is real and very alive!! I totally agree with the decision to go for 2. They had the momentum at that moment and were incapable of stopping tOSU's running game. If it had worked, everybody saying he is stupid would be calling him a genius. I really wish it had worked, but I don't blame the coach. Judging from the Coaches poll, we may not even need Urban to drop a game to move into #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butthead 525 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 what i meant was that it is absurd that osu is getting first place votes. their schedule is pathetic. that is absurd, if the OSU played the turds next week on a neutral field, the turds would be a double digit favorite. ahem ... they were a double-digit favorite against us yesterday ... and probably would be at least a 7-point favorite if we played again next week.

IronMan70 3,277 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 We need to take care of our own business and we will because Gus has them focused. But, just looking at the polls out so far today and its clear Auburn is making a big move on Ohio State. The Coaches poll is a very big jump because they had Clemson in front of us and they lost. Harris, the other BCS poll, also had Clemson in front of Auburn last week, but their new poll isn't out yet. The BCS computer polls already like us so this will be interesting. AP Poll 11/30: 2. Ohio State 3. Auburn (-31) 11/23: 3. Ohio State 4. Auburn (-81) Coaches Poll- included in BCS 11/30: 2. Ohio State 3. Auburn (-25) 11/23: 3. Ohio State 5. Auburn (-160) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an undefeated tOSU gets left out of the championship game, wins the Rose Bowl, and if Auburn wins the BCSCG on another miracle (perceived fluke) play, we could have a split NC, with AP voting tOSU and Auburn winning BCS.

C'viewTiger 242 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 So tell me how uat ends up at #4 ahead of Mo (SECE Champs). They didn't play head to head so that one's out. If the SEC is the strongest conference, should #1&2 (1a&1b at this point) be ahead of uat? Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auctoritas 2,828 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 There is no such thing as a split NC. The AP could vote the Miami Heat #1 every week of the season and it wouldn't matter. The BCS has been tough to live with, but it rarely gets things wrong in the end, and like it or not it is the only thing that grants a NC until next year.

I think the voters feel that if the left out team was deserving they would ave been in the BCSCG. thats why we didn't get a split in 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnatl1 5,227 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I am not sure Osu has to lose this weekend. They just need to look like they did on Saturday. If we can win DECISIVELY and Osu looks iffy, we may pull it off in the eyeball test. We need a win without miracles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a win without miracles. we did, The IB was not a miracle win, we outplayed the turds on the last play that they begged for and got. they can suck it up. We won and it wasn't a fluke, miracle, or a bad call, we ran a legit play and scored on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarDamnAirForce 23 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Has anyone else noticed that on espn's CFB frontpage, the article explaining why tOSU should be #2 is featured, and the one explaining why it should be Auburn is not only a small link next to it, but labeled an INSIDER article, so you can't even read it unless you pay!
