Agreed.... read somewhere that someone thought Stanford would beat either of these teams on a neutral field today. Definitely agree right now. Might even argue Ohio State would stand a pretty good chance against them right now, too. Not sure about TCU, that might be stretching it just a little, but not too much...
ESPN has already anointed Auburn the win. Still 7 minutes left. The ESPN announcing is pathetic, and heavily SEC biased. Did they really need two SCE coaches to discuss the game during halftime? Coaches from other conferences were not available?

The SEC's entries into bowl games this year? 4-5 - with Alabama really the only "big" winner - and the best 3-loss team in the country ;-)
Must not have seen Mississippi State (5th in the SEC West) beat down Michigan.
I wish when they went to 12 games they had moved bowl-eligible to 7 wins. The SEC really shouldn't have had 10 teams in bowls. But of the teams who really WERE bowl material, the league did very well. Ohio State had to catch every break to beat Arkansas, and FSU barely knocked off SC even though SC's best player (and whole running game) got knocked out in the first series. What's more, pretty much every SEC team played a team ranked relatively higher in their own conference.
Let's face it, after all the talk, the SEC has once again proved it on the field. And Auburn dominated in every area except the score.
