Everyone says Auburn has the consensus easiest schedule this year, because they look at their 3 easiest games and they were total patsies. My problem with that is if you look at Auburn's 5 most difficult games (Tennessee twice, LSU, Georgia, and Florida) and compare that with the most difficult games on USC or OU's schedule you'd say that Auburn has the hands down most difficult schedule. It just depends on which way you want to look at it, IMO. Overall they didn't have the strongest scheduled based on wins, but I put extra credence in winning against top tier teams. USC played VaTech & Cal all year...that's it. OU played Texas & BG and that's about it. The SEC is about 10 times tougher than either the PAC 10 or the Big 12.
In the end Auburn deserves a shot and since they're undefeated I don't see how I could ever say they'd get "dominated" by the two teams playing this evening.
I'll be rooting for OU, simply because I cannot stand USC a little more than I cannot stand OU. I dislike both teams quite a bit, and hate their conferences even more. But I guess I'll root for OU.
Here, here. You'll see no argument from me. Outstanding post hammb.
