I'm with the Aubies here. It quite frankly pisses me off too, that an SEC team can go undefeated and still not even have a chance to win the MNC. That is just complete bull#badword#, that should not happen, it is just complete bull#badword#, it's the main thing wrong with college football (along with conference referees).
I mean, I KNOW it's "just Auburn" and all, but... the SEC is far and away the most powerful conference top to bottom in the land, and has been for a LONG time. It's just bull#badword# that an undefeated SEC champion can't even compete for the SEC championship. I don't want to hear any flack about their weak "out of conference" schedule, if they went undefeated through the SEC, that's enough. Hell, if an SEC team goes undefeated, their shouldn't even BE a "national championship" game or playoff, it should just be AWARDED to them. (OK, that last part is just SEC homerism!
)
It's one of the reasons Spurrier wanted to transition to the NFL, and I can't blame him.
