re: Does an Aubie loss dilute our win???

The only "dilution" is maybe in the public perception at the end of the year. When looking at how many ranked teams we beat this year. The SOS component is drastically reduced and I think it's only a component in some of the individual computers (not the BCS formula as a whole).

If we beat FL, SC, UGA, BAMA, MS, ARK, a Vandy win over Auburn won't matter. What this does is give us a little bit of breathing room in the West. We only have to worry about Bama now. Actually, we could still lose a game, and as long as we beat Bama, we'll get the tiebreaker over them.
