Auburn and VTech were the number 2 & 3 ranked defenses in the nation....there was going to be no blowout in this game unless one team's defense all got the flu.
Auburn beat more top 15 teams than either USC or Oklahoma....Auburn should have been playing for the national championship.
Auburn's strength of schedule rating was #73 in the nation. USC was #13 and Oklahoma was #31.
Deep down inside, Auburn fans are desperate for a National Championship so they can gloat to Crimson Tide fans. Instead, their whining about what they think should be this year will be but a shrill annoyance.
