AP Picks Auburn to Play in CFB Playoff Championship: They’re Wrong

The Associated Press has predicted that Auburn will represent the Southeastern Conference in the 2016 rendition of the College Football Playoff, taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes for all the marbles.

Charlie Murphy knows what to say about this.

I’m stepping back, taking off my Bammer homer lenses, and trying to understand how they’ll get there over Alabama. I’ll be honest, I’m having a difficult time.

First and foremost, the Tigers don’t have a proven quarterback. Yes, yes, I know Alabama doesn’t either, but there’s no denying that the collective talent around each quarterback is much better in Tuscaloosa (check the recruiting records over the past four years).
