Pissed Eagles

A Sports Illustrated writer has pretty much summed up my whole opinion nicely concerning the Auburn BCS controversy in a recent article. I didn't even realize that The Citadel was a Division 1aa school! You can't completely pad your schedule and expect to be taken seriously. Although I do think the SEC needs to seriously think about booting out some of the consistently crappy teams as well. I'd also have to say that Alabama needs to work on getting some better non-conference games scheduled as well. I still say the 1986 season when they played Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Penn State was one of the most ballsy schedules evar, even if it only turned out to be a so-so season.

The best thing about all this is that the Auburn fans know deep in the pit of their stomach that if Alabama was undefeated at this point they'd be ranked #1 or #2 just because they're Alabama. Auburn has too many years of being the little cow-college that couldn't behind them to overcome. They can line up their little triumphs like beating Alabama this year or being undefeated in Tuscaloosa, but until they line up 12 National Championships they're always going to sound whiney just like they do this year.
