Reply #23: Auburn

Ok, I'm a hometown fan, but as a Georgia grad and former SEC employee, I HAVE learned some objectivity over the years.

I've been to or watched on tv most of Auburn's games this season, and I have honestly never seen a team that has been so focused on the moment, the play, the game of the day. They have come to play every Saturday, and have struggled very little all season. The effect Al Bourges has had on the offense, especially the long-underrated Jason Campbell, has been incredible to watch. The defensive stats speak for themselves.

Oklahoma has visibly faltered more often. This Saturday will be interesting. Alabama could be the heartbreaking spoiler for Auburn - a team with everything to lose vs. a team with very little to lose on top of one of the most rabid (if recently tepid) college rivalries in the country!
