Thoughts - That's It

[AUTiger1]

Proud of this team.  Proud of the turn around from the dumpster fire that was last season.  We are going to be back. 

I don't mind the loss, what I do mind is them holding on what seemed to be every damn play and them not getting called for an obvious PI.  I don't get upset with a loss, but I get pissed when we get screwed that hard.  The refs make two or three holding calls in the second half and it kills at least one of their scoring drives, we get the ball back and chew up clock if nothing else.  After watching that Big 10 crew, I am beginning to think the SEC refs aren't all that bad.

No consolation but second in both polls.

The turds are 7 in one 8 in the other. 

The sad news? Even though they lose their QB and tons of other players on both sides of the ball while we bring basically everybody back they will start the season second or third at worst. We will be five or so.

I think they will be ranked higher than they should but not higher than us.  Not in the polls that count.  But, we will see.

When somebody posts, "WDE anyways", Don't you want to snap their neck!

One thing that got me was in the fourth playing more zone and backing off on the pass rush. I mean I very much credit the hits Winston was receiving to not being able to do shit the first half. I mean Auburn dominated most of that game with the exception of special teams and that last touchdown pass.

Of course the mullets are trying to live vicariously through FSU's victory now but the way I see it.. from 3 wins to this season is a hell of a turnaround. There are positives, but it was THAT close..

ESPN released a 2014 poll last night right after the game.

Bama was 2nd.  We were 5th.  Florida State #1.

Was this not a poll done by Todd McShay or somebody like that?  One guy's opinion poll?  I heard him (whoever it was) on Finebaum the following day.  Could be wrong, but when the "real polls" come out, just can't see bammer being 2nd based on what they did, and who they lose.  Where we will be?  Don't know.

There are no more real polls.  They're all shams and carry equal weight in terms of who gets into the playoffs. 

Though I'd bet that ESPN will soon come up with their own official "media" poll that's separate from the AP, Coaches, and Harris.  Their popularity will carry quite a bit of weight in the public.

I guess by "real poll" I mean one that isn't one dude's opinion designed to get himself face/air time.

FSU started going to a 3 step drop and getting the ball out of Winston's hand early. It seemed like Auburn was going to let them do that all the way down the field in the second half, and quite honestly, it would have worked if not for a returned kick off and a slant that went for 49 yards after two missed tackles with 1:00 left...
