Not taking away from what Auburn has done, they clearly deserve to be in the BCSNCG, and I'll be rooting for them. But, Auburn has seemed to have reached a mythical status late in the year. They're not dominating teams at all, and play no D. Some of their big wins have been very fortunate. Beat Georgia on a miracle pass, Manziel was out for part of the A&M game, and we all know about Bama.

I think FSU will really show us how legit they are. We already know they can run. But what happens if FSU shuts them down, or has lead where Auburn is forced to throw? Can Marshall win with his arm? Will their D have a pulse, and make stops? We'll see...

...and at the end of the year needed a fluke Hail Mary to beat a weakened Georgia team. They're definitely improved, but they're not that much better. Another poster got it right, we're a bad matchup for Auburn.
