Personally, I think AU deserved to get in over BC, Seton Hall, Tennessee and Texas Tech. The SEC was regarded as the best overall conference from top to bottom and I think this is why AU got in. The strength of the league they are in was the deciding factor.
I agree. Believe me, most Auburn folks would love to see the OOC schedule beefed up...alot. We'll just have to see if Ellis wants to take that risk.
AU is by no means anything other than a football school. We are certainly "happy to be there" but are a little annoyed with the screeching going on in the national media. If we suck so bad, we'll be bounced early. If we are as good as our record in the SEC, we should get past St. Joe's.
BTW, I hear they've changed their name to "Western" St. Joe's...:-)
