First, the team that wins the Iron Bowl is going to be a big loser. The SEC's best teams are cannibalizing themselves in these final four weeks of the season and will not have enough left in the tank for the playoffs. The Iron Bowl victor will face Georgia in what will be essentially home game for the Dawgs in Atlanta. Regardless of who the eventual SEC Champion is, it will be beat the h*ll up for the CFB playoffs. Uat will have faced LSU, Miss State, Auburn, and Georgia--best four teams in the SEC in succession. Auburn will potentially have faced three consecutive top 5 teams, including two No.1s, by playoff time. Georgia just played a physical games against Auburn and Kentucky and will face a power-rushing flexbone attack at Georgia Tech this week. Ain't no SEC team gonna win two straight playoff games after that. Conversely, the Iron Bowl loser will be picked at large to play in a marquee selection committee bowl game against a beatable opponent. I, for one, would rather win my last game than lose semifinal playoff game or lose a national championship in embarrassing fashion.
Second, Gus needs to leave Auburn as much as Bobby Petrino needs to leave Louisville. The ADs that hired them have been fired. Both athletic departments are in shambles from PR perspectives. Authur Gustavo Malzahn III has been at Auburn for five consecutive years. That matches the longest stint he has coached at one school in his career. Next year's schedule is grueling on both ends with seven straight games to open the season and three SEC road games in the final five contests to close it. The fan base will never fully support and back Gus and will constantly compare him to Satan, who turned 66 on Halloween and is going for this 6th national championship. At a different school, Gus would have full control of his program. At Auburn, Gus has had prior connections to every offensive coach on all of his staffs, most of whom have been Arkansas natives (The lone exception being Dameyune Craig.) Every current and past defensive staffer, top to bottom, has never had any connections to Gus. Any reasonable person can surmise that someone other than Gus has been in charge of hiring on that side of the ball. Gus, if he has any sense, will become the first Auburn coach in modern football history to leave on his own volition.
Lastly, this is the worst Uat team in the last 10 years.
