Questions buzzin' around social media involve opponents toward the end of our schedule, playoffs, and a media favorite, Bowl projections.
My first inclination is one of excitement. I am as happy as I can be that Auburn is playing good football. I also understand the season is already halfway over. So why exactly should I jump ahead to a game that comes at or near the end of our schedule?
Those games will come. Relish in the fact that all seems well, and be thankful they are.
I say we need to take one game at a time. Next up is Ole Miss.
As for the playoffs, two things need to be considered.
One, so far, no team with two loses has made the final four.
Two, currently there are 6 undefeated teams in the Coaches Poll. Not all of which are ranked ahead of our Tigers. However, there are 5 teams ranked ahead of Auburn which only have one loss. The playoff mountain is a very steep climb for Auburn.
When the CFP committee releases its first poll, then, and only then, can we look more accurately at the "IF" in Auburn's chances at making the playoffs.
Gus has set all types of records at Auburn, will this be one of them? A fun question to be sure.
Lets see how it all plays out.
WAR EAGLE!
