SEC FAN 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I see the following SEC teams playing better ball than TN right now: (and I'm being generous and leaving a few out) Auburn Georgia LSU Florida Bama It's a shame AU doesn't get a better opponent to play in the championship game. TN made it to the championship game because they had a very weak SEC schedule. They caught GA coming down after being sky high against LSU. AU will have to blow out TN just to not lose ground in the BCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that we can play a miracle game against Auburn in the championship but I don't see it happening. After that game I will be a Auburn fan hoping that you guys get a shot at the National Championship. Nitescape Go VOLS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the 5 teams you listed the Vols beat 3 of em...one they didnt play...and as for Auburn while everyone expects Auburn to win huge its not that easy to beat a team twice in a season, no one expected david to beat goliath and y'all may get a better game than you want. As for the Vols having a weak schedule, maybe...but its Auburns weak schedule that is whats gonna get Auburn a bridesmaids bowl out of the national title picture. the citadel???...gimme a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a contender for the Top 25 this year, and were in it as late as last week I believe. They backed out to play Oklahoma and we could do nothign about it. So we had to scramble to find somebody. So we had to resort to a 1-AA team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you really trying to prove to us that playing the citadel makes auburn a bad team? Your probably not, because that argument would be stupid and pointless.

Im not here to dump on auburn, i think outta the top 3 theyre the best team...seriously. trouble is they wont get a chance to prove it the way the bcs is set up.

rexbo 104 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 One point, I don't think a lot of us are blasting UT personally; I think it is coming out of our frustration with the BCS and that UT hasn't helped us by losing to ND and looking so bad against Vanderbilt and UK. We have been hoping all year to be playing a one loss UT team, ranked near the Top 5, so we could hopefully use that SEC Championship game to jump Oklahoma...

I also think if auburn had been treated the way the vols were by the pollsters youd be frustrated as well. the georgia team we beat is ranked above us...other teams in the top 10 have lost to unranked opponents and didnt drop like we did when ya'll beat us. think about it they say if your gonna lose , lose early..we did...to ya'll who i think were ranked 11th and we were 9th...we dropped like a rock to 17th....others in the big 10 and big 12 didnt drop like we did when they lost....2 or 3 spots... SEC just isnt gonna get the same respect as those conferences. you guys are undefeated and wont even get a shot...the vols went undefeated in 98 and won the whole thing but we wouldnt have even been there had there been 2 other undefeateds from anywhere. Youll get a politician elected on a raise taxes platform before you get SEC team to win the NT with a single loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexbo 104 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 ...other teams in the top 10 have lost to unranked opponents and didnt drop like we did when ya'll beat us. That was not out of disrespect for UT, it was disrespect for who you lost to and how bad you lost to them. Look at where you started the season in the polls this year, even with NO QB, what Top 15? Let's look at where Auburn starts next year, after this great season with everyone raving about our HC, OC and DC and the talent onboard. I bet it is still not in the Top 15, or just barely there...

tiger88 934 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I look for ut to play their best game of the year against us. I think they have been looking ahead to us for the last two weeks. They knew they only had to win one of their last two against two patsies. I look for us to show up big and win the game, but I don't think it will be easy.

rexbo 104 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 How did we lose to UT at home Uh, hopefully you are not asking the same after this GT game, they are within 6.

MDM4AU 336 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I think part of UT's problem is that they were looking ahead somewhat thinking the last three games would be cake walks. Then figure in the QB situation. I think UT will be ready for AU. I think AU will again win convincingly. The question will be if it is convincingly enough for the voters.

We could lose every year to them and it wouldn't matter unless we were undefeated or in the NC hunt. Not from Georgia so it means little to me.

We heard the same thing last year. This year, AU knocked off 3 top 10 teams at the time. The Pac-10 is a weak conference this year. No real surprise. Auburn belongs in the big game as much as LSU did last year. USC should be left out in the cold once again. Let us hope or pray that USC loses to either ND, UCLA, or both.

auskull 239 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 dan4vols, how many times has the wild card team won in the super bowl or the world series or any other playoff. Schedule does not have anything to do with being the best team. It only means that you had the toughest schedule, not the best team in the country. I don't even know why this is factored in the rankings. Why is the conference rating factored in? What has that got to do with having the best team. What has anything got to do with having the best team except beating the best of the best and being the last man standing. Everything else is an opinion only. Currently its all subjective, just like last year and all the years before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
