But we weren't necessarily on the outside looking in. We became #2 in week 6. We stayed #2, and then we beat #1 in our championship game. Totally different scenario from AU in 2004. In the end, the style points weren't needed because we were #2, and we beat #1 in the last game both teams would play before their respective BCS bowl game.
This was kind of my point at the initial post, not necessarilly that was need style points but the fact that we're coming from such a lower ranking. Besides the fact that Auburn would have to win the rest of the SEC, which is hard in of itself, we will need some help by others losing. I do think we can jump maybe or two in the process especially going undefeated. I certainly see from the list that all the teams in front of us will have some test and could get beat. One thing that offsets style points a little bit is Cam Newton. No this in not a homerized statement, I'm being serious. If he keeps doing what he does and continued to be in the Heisman talk, this give AUburn some attention.
