And now, a word about voters and computers...
So let me get this straight...

Auburn is 10-0, undefeated, and have beated three teams that were in the top ten at the time of the game, yet the Tigers are SOMEHOW still ranked BEHIND Oklahoma?!?!?!? What coaches and pollsters are voting this way? Did any of them even see the highlights of the Auburn - UGA game?

Yes, Oklahoma is good. Yes, they're talented. But they only put 30 on Nebraska who gave up 77 to Texas Tech. TEXAS TECH!! And their conference sucks ass. Texas? Who's Texas? They are the softest 9-1 team of the year, and possibly any year. They had to come back from an ocean down to beat Oklahoma State.

And who exactly are they going to play in their Conference Championship?

In all likelihood, it'll be Iowa State. Wee. And if it's not, it is very likely that the conference title game could feature mighty Oklahoma playing a team with five losses. That's right. FIVE LOSSES! How's THAT for strength of schedule?

Meanwhile, Auburn will have played (and hopefully beaten) Alabama and their top five nationally ranked defense, and then Tennessee (who beat Florida AND Notre Dame AND Georgia).

I know a lot of things can change between now and then. Hell, if the Irish grow a pair and get lucky, they could knock down USC and none of this would matter.

The bottom line is this:

Auburn will be as focused and prepared this Saturday against Alabama as they've ever been, and that could be a statement game.

War Eagle!!
