Title: Auburn Bowl game possibilities
Post by: jadennis on November 16, 2009, 11:46:51 AM
So we look like we will likely be 7-5 to end the season.  Sure, anything is possible, but 7-5 is looking likely.

However, in this years SEC, that doesn't mean a bad bowl.

Going through the remaining games and factoring in that anyone can beat almost anyone left on their schedule, this is how I'm guessing the year finishes up.

Florida  - BCS
Alabama - BCS

Georgia - 7-5
Carolina - 6-6
Kentucky - 6-6
Tennessee - 7-5

LSU - 9-3 (10-2)
Ole Miss - 8-4 (7-5, 9-3)
Auburn - 7-5
Arkansas - 7-5 (6-6)
Miss State 5-7 (6-6)

Looking at the likely (possible) finishing records, we aren't necessarily relegated to the Independence, Music City, or Papa Johns Bowls.

Go down the list....I assume we are still likely to get one of the top 4 bowls (Cotton, Capital One, Outback, or Chick-fil-A).

College Football News still has us going to the Cotton.  Who knows?

I don't see Cotton.  Just basing it on your projected records...

UF/Bama BCS
LSU - 9-3
Ole Miss - 8-4
Georgia - 7-5
Tennessee - 7-5
Auburn - 7-5
Arkansas - 7-5
Carolina - 6-6
Kentucky - 6-6

I see Music City.

Could be, but I'd think we'd get just as good a look by a bowl at 7-5 as Ole Miss gets at 8-4.  Remember, if a bowl gets "SEC #4", that just means they get 4th choice, not the 4th place team.

I believe we will go over ole miss due to them playing 2 FCS opponents.

Ole Miss' fortunes could change if they beat LSU.  LSU is still in the top 10 and if Ole Miss finishes strong, they'll look a little more attractive than Auburn getting beat by UGA and Bama down the stretch. 

We just need to beat Bama and all will be right with the world...again.
Title: Re: Auburn Bowl game possibilities
Post by: jadennis on November 16, 2009, 01:49:38 PM
Knowing Nutt and Ole Miss, they'll probably beat LSU and then lose to Miss State.

You're right though, if they can beat LSU and Mississippi State, they'll get over us easy at 9-3 and the strong finish.

These four games will determine everything in the bowl picture:
Ole Miss vs LSU
Miss State vs Ole Miss
Arkansas vs Miss State
LSU vs Arkansas

I think they base it more on tv marketing, how well will the team travel, and selling tickets.  I could see usc, ut, ole miss, and arkansas getting a better bid.  I just think Music City or Liberty fits Auburn better with travel and marketing.  I think more would show-up to Atlanta, but I think losing the last two (and 5 of last 7) puts us out of that conversation.

The Peach Bowl (whatever it's called) is my favorite non-BCS bowl to play in.  Hell, not considering the preliminary requirements, I like it more than the Sugar Bowl.  That was a New Year's Eve to remember.

Fingers crossed for the Cotton or the Chick-fil-A....yes, I'm selfish...those are two I think I can probably swing.

The Cotton is still possible.  We need Arkansas at 6-6, Ole Miss definitely no better than 8-5 (preferably 7-5).

Then maybe it goes LSU to the Capital One, Tennessee to the Outback, Georgia to the Peach-fil-A, Auburn to the Cotton, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Miss State to the other lesser games.

If we win out to finish at 8-4, we may pick a boll of that cotton. If we do that, we'll be on a 5 game win streak to finish the season.
 I won't be surprised if Ole Miss loses their next two. LSU will knock McCluster out early to solve that problem and the rout will be on.

I went to the 98 Peach Bowl when AU played Clemson. I was with one of the marching bands that performed at the halftime show, so we were around the locker rooms when halftime started and then again when AU came out of the locker rooms. That was pretty cool.

Its kind of sad, I've never been able to make it to an Alabama game, but I have been to an Auburn game.

Whatever dude. Like always, you can't take people calling you out on your bullshit. It IS typical Alabama fan bullshit, and Kaos couldn't be more right. You ran off at the mouth about Ben Tate and his comments, although you had no fucking idea in what context his quotes were said in. You went "popping off at the mouth about something you don't know shit about", but yet you get pissed as fuck when people call you out on shit or complain like my bitch ex-wife when someone tells you to fuck off...

No, the context of what Ben Tate said is quite clear. I know all the other complimentary stuff Tate said. I knew it when I posted. But he still said he was the best back in the state. Its like if OJ said in a statement 25 times "I'm innocent" then said "I KILLED THAT BITCH" then said "I'm innocent 25 more times".

And as for the other shit? Sometimes some people take football a little too seriously. If not ever going to an Alabama game while being an Alabama fan somehow fits me into some sort of stereotype, or makes me whatever person you want to see me as, then so be it. Real life is more important than football. For that matter, I'm not even pissed off. That was a general fuck you. Again, I don't take football or a message board so seriously that I'm going to get "pissed as fuck" over it. If I cared so much, I wouldn't have ever said what I did. Its just a matter of I really don't give a fuck. I come on to have a good time, and thats that.

Bull. Fucking. Shit.

You ignored this post from me on your stupid Ben Tate thread...because you couldn't answer my question...

Quote
What the fuck would you say if you were Ben Tate and someone asks you, "Ben, Ingram is getting a lot of publicity for Hiesman but you guys have similar numbers and stats. Do you feel that you and Ingram are on the same level? Who do you think is the best tailback in the state?"

What do you want him to say? I am second? I can't hold Ingram's jock? Seriously dude...what the fuck? This is why you are such a douche. You don't know what fucking questions were asked. It's not like Ben has a tendency to talk shit like this. I am pretty sure that he was probably asked a specific question about Ingram. Why the hell else would he mention him. Not everyone gets on their knees to suck UA players dick. I want a RB that thinks he is the baddest mother fucker out there when he steps on the field. The game of football has a lot to do with confidence. I want our players to be confident...not cocky...but confident. You don't know what was asked and what questions prompted this response...

And you ignored this quote that Autiger1 posted because it doesn't fit your closed minded view of what Tate said:
Quote
"Don't get me wrong, he's a good running back," Tate said. "He's a very good running back. He's only a sophomore and he's having a great year, but at the same time, his team is winning, they're undefeated so of course, he's going to be talked about."

"It's great he's up for the Heisman," Tate said.

"Hopefully, he gets it. I want to see a running back get it. It's been a while (Reggie Bush in 2005) since a guy at the position has been able to get it. Maybe, hopefully he will. More power to him."

Again, you take what you want to take and use it to say what you want it to say. Unless you were there when the interview was given, you have no clue the context his quote was said. Your OJ example is laughable. Completely stupid...

Seriously, never. I'm only 26, but still. My son was born 4 months before I turned 22. I wasn't really "with" his mother when he was born, relationship wise. She was just a chick I laid a couple of times and had no intention of having a "relationship" with her, and we really didn't get along anyways. But still, it was my kid, so we get along for him just fine. But anyways, back then I was working a shitload of hours so any days I had off I always got him. Its still that way, except I don't work a shitload of hours anymore. My job now lets me spend a shitload of time with him, and we don't go thru the courts for custody or child support or anything, so that really helps. I would rather see my son, wife, etc, than go to a football game.

Plus, now my wife and I have adopted her 3 year old cousin. So, between kids, family, work, fire department, etc, going to a football game isn't really a priority on my list. I've had a few opportunities to go, but I just haven't. I just never really make much time to go do stuff like that.

You were expecting maybe a lucid, intelligent, well thought out response to: "You call yourself a Bama fan, come here and run a very low level of constant bullshit, but have NEVER, EVER even seen the lowly Tahd play in person?  Not even as a kid?  You mean you never even tried to win tickets on the radio to a game like UTC vs Bammer where you could go and get them for $5 a pop outside that dump of a stadium in Tuscaloser?"

Man, RWS...

In one offhand statement you confirmed every stereotype we've always known about the collective Alabama fanbase.  

You have no idea WHY you're an Alabama fan.  That's the sad and pathetic nature of most of those who call themselves Bama fans.  You are just because you are and you don't have the first clue of what else might be out there. It's basically cultural ignorance.  

I'm an Auburn fan, 100%.  But I've been to Auburn. And to about every other SEC stadium (and a bunch of non-SEC).  I know why I'm an Auburn fan and my love for all things AU is only strengthened when I visit other places -- because they're not Auburn and never will be.  

You don't have that frame of reference.  You don't know what Alabama even is.

My dad is a Notre Dame fan. He doesn't particulary like Alabama, but doesn't hate them either. My mother doesn't give a shit about football. My grandfather and grandmother on my father's side were HUGE AU fans. I watched alot of games on TV with all of them. Most of my friends in school were AU fans. There were a few Alabama fans, but alot of AU fans. Its not like I wasn't exposed to other things, I just simply chose to become an Alabama fan. I'm sure there are AU fans out there that have never stepped foot on campus or that have never gone to a game. Every fanbase does. I don't see where that changes anything, really. I can see where you appreciate it more being there, being a part of the school, etc.

If that makes me stereotypical, then go ahead and slap that label on. Thats fine with me.

Sorry about the personal shit.  We all got our own to deal with.
I know plenty of others have it much, much worse than I. We are lucky enough to have family able to help us. Alot of others don't have that luxury. I'm thankful for what I have. I know I don't have to preach that to you, but some people lose sight of that.

I was thinking this...

Good thing we have a sure-fire SEC team going to the NC and they just added an extra bowl, or we'd probably be eligible and sitting at home...

Been a while since I remember this kind of parity outside of the top 1 team in each division.

You left out the Egg Bowl.
What if MSU beats Ole Miss, we beat Lsu and yall beat Bama. You have 4 teams at 8-4.
Bama is still going to BCS/Sugar. Nothing changes there.
Arkansas on a 5 game win streak and Auburn coming off a win over Bama would be more appealing than LSU who just lost 2 in a row or Ole Miss who just lost.
We may be set up for Cap 1 and Cotton in this scenario.

I think arkansas stock will rise after beating lsu.  I could see them jumping to chickfila or better.  Ole Miss beats msu, so I think cap one or similar is a lock.   I don't see AU winning, losing 5 of 7 doesn't help their argument.  I think chickfila would love georgia even if they lost to Tech.

For selfish reasons I'd rather play in B'ham.

Nashvegas can be fun, though.

Special X Bowl Game Golf Outing?

Or, given the season, perhaps a bowling/Roy Munson extravaganza.

Thanks for the link.  This list makes more sense if this week plays out like I think.  I really don't want to be tempted to attend another game at legion field.

I think if Arkansas beats LSU they are a lock for the Cotton.  So much history and relatively near by.

Interesting to me that no one has us in the Peach-fil-A bowl.

     IMO, If Ark wins we will go to the Cotton.  I think there is a slim chance that we could lose and go to the Cotton Bowl as well, because If Tennessee beats Kentucky, they will probably send a West team to the Outback bowl, most likely LSU.  If Auburn can manage an upset I think they go to the Outback even if Kentucky wins.
