Bulldogs Ranking
Before I forget, got a ton of phone calls on the Bulldogs ranking from 4 to 11. Got a lot of feedback from every different type of football fan. Some Auburn fans felt the ranking of 11 wasn't low enough. Most Dog fans felt it should of dropped but not to 11. I'm finding most dog fans feel cheated when it comes to ranking. They have a tough time with teams like Notre Dame never dropping in rank. One listener that called in said, "Notre Dame can be 6-5 and they'll still be in the top 10" Susan from Columbus called in and told me, "rankings is a bunch of Macho BS it means nothing and this is coming from a Blue Blooded Blead Orange Auburn Fan"

The gods may be punishing us but we still have a great shot at finishing in the top 10 for the 4th straight year. I will agree that we should have fallen but not to 11th. maybe 7-8th—UCLA is weak and Penn St will lose this weekend along with Notre Dame. We get our shot at Bama or LSU in the dome. GO DAWGS !

I’m glad someone else spoke up to call shenanigans on the Bulldogs’ precipitous drop out of the top 10. To use the example of one of the teams you mention as now ranked above the Dawgs, Notre Dame lost to an unranked Michigan State squad (with their starting quarterback) and only dropped 6 spots, then lost to Southern Cal (also with their starting quarterback) and didn’t drop at all.
But there’s not much we can do about it now other than get well during the bye week, build our confidence back up, and come out swinging. Beat Auburn, take care of the rest of the schedule, and elbow our way back into the SEC title game, and we’ll regain a top-10 ranking soon enough.

Georgia lost more recently than those other teams above them.
I can deal with undefeated UCLA being up there and even Notre Dame.
Yes they have two losses but one of those was by a foot to USC.
It’s still a loss but in this day of record-whoring I can deal with that.
LSU and Penn State are there for obvious reasons:
“didn’t they win the national title a few years ago?” and
“didn’t Joe Paterno win the national title 2 decades ago?”
It’s reasons like this the BCS needs to be given a burial at sea (flushed down the toilet).

Hey Desert, Are you as sure that you’ll get to Atlanta
as you were that you’d beat Florida?
I think Auburn will do to you what Alabama did to Florida.
Bama will beat LSU. Then Auburn will beat Bama and embarrass
the Gators in the Dome. War Eagle!
