Auburn is simply the best team in the SEC. They have one of the best running games in the nation, and a competent to solid passing game, which compliments the run well. The defense, as always, will be very good.
I think A LOT of people on this board take the top 10 teams, and at some point say "So and so is overrated" and "Why is so and so in the top X?"
We've now heard it about:
West Virginia
Auburn
USC
Notre Dame
Ohio State
Texas
Cal (pre UT game)
All 7 were in the top 10 at the time of the questioning. It's a little silly.
