You may be right about Auburn not being back next year, KTB Krusher....we won't know how well they reload until next fall. BUT you are actually proving my point: OU and USC were both in the hunt last year, OU got surprised (although it didn't keep them out of the title game) and USC got snubbed. I suppose an Auburn fan would say that OU went last year when they didn't deserve to so it would be poetic justice if they get knocked out this year.
By nature, I always pull for underdogs anyway (unless I have $$ on the favorite), so I would love it if all 3 of the big dogs went down! GL this weekend.
