I have said it before, but I would also be happy with a Florida State rematch in a bowl game. Perfect way for our seniors/redshirt juniors to go out since they lost to Florida State as freshmen. Auburn is currently ranked 15th, and Florida State 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-0 479 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I would like to see us go to the Sugar Bowl but I would like to see another opponent besides FSU, maybe a Wisconsin, Penn State, or another school not from the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you literally just say Wisconsin? Since 2000 they are the only team AU has played in a bowl multiple times. I really don't want to play them again because that would make the 4th time we've played them in a bowl since 03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80Tiger 899 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I know there are all sorts of tie ins, but I imagine the sugar bowl people are in the dumps about whoever comes from the SEC this year. Hate to say it but, all the candidates are real 2nd tier teams, including us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sugar Bowl Committee knows that with an SEC team, whoever it may be will sell out their allotment and take some of the other opponent's allotment. I think if we beat Bama they will chose us over Florida even though they may play in the SEC championship game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike FSU as well, but I just don't get listing Wisconsin as a bowl matchup someone would rather see. To me that's almost like saying "let's schedule Clemson again for 2018".

I can see LSU winning both of those and landing in or around a top 10 ranking....A 9-3 LSU pumped up by Ed O would fill the Sugar Bowl with fans.

Linayus 676 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Sugar Bowl would definitely take LSU over Florida and rightly so. I think LSU runs all over Florida this weekend to cement that spot and I don't think A&M has what it takes now to upset LSU. But if that DOES happen, you can bet the Sugar Bowl will pick Auburn over Florida. We travel well even for lesser bowl games and a healthy Auburn team would match up really well against the Big 12 porous run defenses (exception being maybe West Virginia). So, in short, it'll be LSU/Auburn vs. Oklahoma/OK State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a against RL, actually glad he's finally calling plays and looks good for the most part, but I think he'll be a head coach next year.

AuCivilEng1 11,008 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I would like to see Sugar or Cotton. But most of all, id really like to see Auburn play a snow game, before I die. It would be nice if we could play up north somewhere, one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn is currently ranked 15th, and Florida State 17th. Unless our defense plays the game of their life and offense doesn't turn over the ball just to keep the Bama game close there is no way we will go to the Sugar Bowl other than beating Bama. There's no combination between wins and losses for the rest of the contenders possible between LSU, Texas A&M, Florida, & Tennessee for us to stay ahead of all of them. LSU losing to Florida would not work because somebody still has to beat Tennessee. if LSU beat Florida that would open the door for Tennessee to go and lose to Alabama. LSU would then have to go to lose to Texas A&M. The problem there Texas A&M with jump us by having the SEC standing tie breaker plus likely get ahead in the rankings. So far as the Sugar Bowl is concerned for Auburn it's essentially beat Bama or bust. We really screwed the pooch by losing to Georgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who picks UT over Auburn just doesn't like money. Auburn is one of the best traveling fan bases in the country. UT is one of the biggest bunches of apathetic fans I've ever encountered.
