The 2010 Auburn Tigers were a great team that needed all the planets to align to become the legendary memory on the Plains that they've become. Cam Newton needed to be enticed away from Dan Mullen's Mississippi State Bulldogs and have the greatest season in College Football history, Nick Fairley needed to stay the course after playing a secondary role the season before, Michael Dyer had to rise to the occasion in the BCS National Championship Game against the Oregon Ducks, and countless other breaks had to transpire for history to unfold like it did.
Undoubtedly, that team was an underdog.
