Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 876330, member: 874"] The point is, we don't know that because they never had the opportunity to settle it on the field. You can't assume just because they dropped 55 on Oklahoma that they would've beaten Auburn. Maybe they would have, maybe they wouldn't have. Oklahoma benefited from a system that didn't allow them to be leap frogged as along as they didn't lose. Auburn never had a chance to be #2 based on preseason rankings, not on field performance. As Millhouse pointed out, you can't assume anything before the games are played. This is especially true in an era where so few OOC games are played between major teams, and the few that are, are played in the first two weeks of the season. Teams can look very different in game 12 versus game 1. The BCS worked some of the time but certainly not enough of the time. [/QUOTE]
