Like we alluded to before the bye weekend, it’s always a refreshing feeling watching college football without any sort of real allegiance. You can be a fan, pull for chaos (unless you do that already), and observe from the sidelines as others’ faith and fandom get tested with every play. The Tigers didn’t even play and we saw the team move up to #15 in the Coaches’ Poll, and #16 in the AP Poll.
With Auburn off for the week to prepare for a stretch run that begins next week at Texas A&M, then back home against the now second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs, and finishes after Thanksgiving with the top-ranked Crimson Tide, I think we all needed to watch someone else bear the emotional brunt that only college football can bring.
