Can the Tigers Run Down Central Florida?

War Eagle, everybody! It is finally an Auburn football game week, once again! On Monday morning, New Years Day, the Auburn Tigers will take on the nation’s only remaining undefeated team in Atlanta. The Central Florida Golden Knights, champions of the American Conference, will be trying to run their record to 13-0, at the expense of Auburn. For the idle observer, it’s an opportunity to see if there is really much of a gap between the power conferences, and the lesser-regarded “group of five.” In the previous 25 bowl seasons, this conference, formerly known as the Big East produced exactly 1 national champion, Miami, in 2001.
