Auburn is among a few SEC groups that controls its future.
The query, however, is if Auburn runs the table would the school Football Playoff Variety Committee reward the Tigers for wins about No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Alabama, then a repeat functionality within Cameron Artispayne Tigers Jerseys [1] the SEC Championship versus the Bulldogs?
Gary Danielson, analyst for your SEC on CBS who will contact Auburn-Georgia on Saturday at 2:thirty, reported the answer to that is sure.
"I think they will," Danielson explained to me Wednesday within the Opening Kickoff on WNSP-FM one zero five.5. "I imagine they're going to be upsets, certainly."
He details to some of items concerning reasons why they can conquer Georgia and Alabama:
Elite protection: "They can quit the run on defense. Their front seven is loaded. They could place tension on (Ga quarterback) Jake Fromm and find out if he can defeat them together with his arm."
Broad receivers Darius Slayton, Ryan Davis and will Hastings: "It's difficult to double up since all three are possible targets. They can be a legit offense and that big-time move can appear unattractive in some cases, however, if you strike a pair - like they did in opposition to A&M - all of a sudden it changes the soccer game."
Comfort level: "They're comfortable playing Alabama. They're used to it. They enjoy it. There really are a lot of groups that go out there and don't believe they have a chance." He made it clear Jeremiah Dinson Auburn Jerseys [2] isn't among those teams.
"The SEC would be represented (during the Final Four), especially with the opportunity Auburn has beating the No. one team from the country in two games out of three weeks, then come back and conquer Ga again. It is really very difficult to do, to beat a top-level team twice."
At this point in the season, Danielson says, the playoff representatives will come from the top 10 teams of this week's poll.
"I feel the 3 SEC teams control their own destiny: Georgia (No. 1), Alabama (No. 2), Auburn (No. 10)," he explained. "I actually believe Miami and Clemson control their own destiny. If Miami wins out, they will have conquer Notre Dame and Clemson. They will be in the Final Four. I feel if Clemson wins out, they will be in the Final Four."
But who is playing better ball right now, Alabama or Georgia?
"The only dilemma I have about both groups is their schedule," Danielson claimed. "The SEC East is just a hot mess. In the event you search at Georgia's schedule closely, you got Notre Dame and who else?
"The same for Alabama."
He details to your combined record by the Tide's SEC opponents, prior to the LSU game, is 6-21. The rest of the way, LSU included, Alabama's SEC opponents have a 29-6 record.
"Alabama has been strike with injuries," Danielson explained. "LSU showed, up entrance, (Alabama) can be played with physically.
"It's a jump ball."
