The defenses in the SEC obviously aren't what they've been. Auburn will have it's hands full with FSU and I can't imagine what the over/under will be.
OSU, hasn't played a top 15 team in over two years until yesterday and as usual, when they meet actual competition, we saw what happened. There is a reason OSU has the record it has against SEC teams in bowl games. OSU and Oregon are the new Notre Dame and USC for the press. ALWAYA OVER RATED! Had they made it, OSU would have been embarassed, as usual.
If Auburn beats FSU (and I hope they do), it would just put an exclamation point on what a step above the SEC is if they can't beat a team like FSU while only bringing to the party average (at best) defense.
Oh yeah, besides being an SEC homer, I also hope they win so I can say LSU was the only team to beat the national champions.
Geaux (Auburn) Tigers!
I think defense in football at all levels is going the way of basketball. We are seeing huge offensive numbers in NCAA and NFL. It is not a question of talent or coaching but one of policy. Big hits dislodging a ball that the fans love are now "targeting" and we have gone out of our way to protect QBs.
