I know this has nothing to do with the Canes and i'll probably have some people make snarky and visceral comments about how i should be worried about us and not another team which i kinda understand given the OB loss, the transfers, recruiting issues etc but as a college football fan wasn't Auburn's season about as much of a whirlwind season as you can remember a team having?
They blew a 20 point lead in the second half to a struggling LSU team at the time who lost at home to Troy the week before in a game they should have won
They had a chance at the number 1 seed in the playoff entering conference championship week with 2 losses already
Then they end up losing to a Group of 5 team in the Peach Bowl, which I'm thinking they thought was an embarrassment but UCF is clearly a top 6 team in the country to me so not a bad loss but I'm sure they don't like losing to UCF as much as say USC or Penn St
They beat both teams that are playing in the national championship game while they were each number 1 and only lost to the number 1 team entering the playoffs by 6. When is the next time we'll see a team play a total of 4 games against the final 4 teams throughout the regular season?
And their reward for this? Having to watch their 2 biggest rivals that they both beat this year play for the national title?? Imagine watching an FSU vs UF national championship the same year we beat both of them? This board would spontaneously combust.
All in all, they finished 10-4 and definitely passed the eye test basically the entire year as being a top 5 team. I challenge anyone to find a better 4 loss team in college football history. I guarantee you that you can't no matter how hard you try.
That's it really just my 2 cents
