There’s no catchy nickname for last Saturday’s game. No luck involved. No fluky last-second play. No miracles needed. One team was simply better than the other. It was routine.
After Saturday, Auburn truly feels like the best team in the country — the favorite to win the College Football Playoff. And it only seems fitting that the three other teams currently slotted in the playoff are Auburn’s three most recent non-conference losses. This season feels like a redemption tour of sorts. But at the same time, placing any kind of label on this team doesn’t seem entirely fair.
