Who would have thought that the implications in this game would be so defined. This is Auburn's road to the National Championship while Tennessee would like nothing better than to close the road entirely. In their previous match-up, Auburn won in Knoxville 34-10 and believe me the score is a accurate representation of the game.

Erik Ainge tried his best to do what he could, but the Auburn defense was his Kryptonite. As for this game, Ainge is still questionable. He may or may not start. It will more than likely be a game-time decision. This Auburn team is hands down, the best team in college football. This is a team that has won 99% of their games by a margin of 13 points or better. Auburn did look a little weak against Alabama, but the fact they won says a lot. That's the difference between a good team and a great team. A great team will always find a way to win. As for Tennessee, they have had more than their fair share of problems this year. Everything from injuries, quarterback issues, and defensive playcalling. The most obvious of the latter is in the last two games against Vanderbilt and Kentucky. Both Vanderbilt and Kentucky combined accounted for 743 yards and 64 points. All from the worst two (2) teams in the SEC.

I think Auburn is going to come out and strike quick. Currently residing at #3 in the BCS Standings, Auburn is going to need a very good showing against a inferior Tennessee team to remotely have a chance to go to the Orange Bowl. All year Auburn has shown the power that all teams have to envy. The power running game hasn't been stopped yet coupled with the passing of Jason Campbell. I think Auburn is going to win and I think they are going to win very big unless Tennessee's defense steps their game up.

Auburn 45
Tennessee 10

Welp game over , Alot closer than alot of ppl thought but still pretty much the outcome everyone knew. Auburn BEAT Tennessee to claim the 2004 SEC championship. Ill give credit where its due, Tennessee played a better game than what I thought they would and that Riggs is a HOSS of a back. Hes going to be pretty good. Maybe if Tennessee players would have stayed home and not out partying at 2 a.m. they would have had that lil extra to pull off the win. hehe :D Congrats to Auburn...... 12 - 0 but still no Orange Bowl :confused:

To quote the EGO-MANIAC Lee Corso:

"If Auburn wins and you don't send them to the National Championship, there's going to be another civil war." Gameday

Lee just may be right , YOu win the toughest confrense in the country and you go undefeated and you dont get a chance to play for the NC .. something is wrong and it should bring a civil war.

The only prayer that Auburn has is to go to the Sugar Bowl, beating Virginia Tech and staking a claim to part of the championship.

I think they would have a legit claim but it really depends on where they get ranked in the human polls as to where they could sneak in a share of the title or not. If both human polls have them at 3 then its goign to be tough to change voters minds when 1 vs 2 play.

Well...a Oklahoma player just got disqualified for cold-cocking the Colorado QB. His number is #93.

Doing everything they can to make sure they beat up on Colorado pretty bad to keep their votes in the polls I suppose.

That kinda stuff just brings shame to the game yanno . There is no need to do that they are winnin and they are winning big. Keep the game clean and win it with class yanno.

If it were up to me, I'd say let USC and Oklahoma play in the Orange Bowl..... and if Auburn wins the Sugar Bowl matchup, they should get a shot at whoever wins the Orange Bowl.

Say USC wins the Orange Bowl..... If they REALLY are the national champs, then they shouldn't have a problem beating one more team (Auburn) should they? :p

I know this would never happen, but it would be the best solution. The BCS crap could stick around just as it is, but if there are more than 2 undefeated teams at the top of the rankings, then a "final four" type playoff should be enstated.
