Don't know why, but I just have this gut feeling AU may pull the upset this Saturday. That would be so UNM.

Hope you're right, but 99% no...
I'm worried about auburn packing it in. Hopefully they show up
I considered this, and I have to say, some on their team seem to have. But if they are worth 2-shits they will realize they could still go on a run and finish 9-3.
Do y'all really think aTm is an auto loss for them? How about UGA, who just scraped by Mizzou 9-6? Would be shocked if they lost to Idaho, so if I'm AU, I'm thinking there are at least 3 games I've already got a good shot to win if I believe and work hard. Then I remember the Iron Bowl is one you can throw the records out on.
So, as a player I'd be looking at the OM game as the first game in a streak I think we can go on, and I bust my ass to win it.
Now. add to that UNM is, as usual overrated. I know they didn't deserve to beat Bama. I know they greatly benefited from a messed up aTm. I know 2 weeks ago they lost badly to Memphis, and all they have done since is beat a clearly way down aTm. I know UNM got their clock cleaned by UF,
Of their wins, which were really proof they are as good as some people think? Certainly not Bama, they were gifted that win. Not Vandy. Not Fresno State. Not NM State. Aside from aTm, their next best deserved win is UTM.
Again, aTm was a hot mess for that game, so it's hard to judge how much of that was UNM being good and how much was aTM being that bad.
I think AU could very well rise up. They have the talent
and I think they get there stud DLineman back this week
There's a chance- especially with Auburn at home. But it's going to be tough to do
I predicted Florida and Memphis to beat them and for some unknown reason I feel like AU will beat them in the return of the magic at Jordan Hare...in a close stunner..34-33
Aw-Barn is DONE. Rebs easy
Don't see AU beating OM. For the first half of the game vs. ARK they did not look good at all.
Ole Miss is the luckiest team on the planet. Auburn can't stop anyone and they can't throw the ball therefore they lose.
There is absolutely no way AU keeps it close! BTW, I sure wish we had a Big Softie on our team. He shut down 15 from A&M.
Before some of y'all get too carried away with UNM, consider their record vs FBS teams with winning records, 2-2, with 2 blowout losses.
Now, of those 2 wins, one came vs a Bama team that was CLEARLY better, spotted UNM 5 t/o's, gave up 7 points on a complete fluke, and another 7 on a play that should have been called back for linemen downfield. Despite getting 14 undeserved points AND benefiting from 5 t/o's, UNM only manages to escape by 6 points. That's a W, but it's the epitome of a fluke win.
In reality, this UNM team deserves to be no better than 1-3 vs those teams, with at least 2 losses blowouts. On top of that, their 1 win was vs a clearly reeling aTm.
Color me unimpressed. Hell, I'm more impressed with AU taking UPig to 4 OT's at Upig than I am with UNM's win over Bama.
Auburns RB will get 150 yards against ole miss if Gus calls the correct game. Still not sure they'll win though. Ole miss can be beat up the middle. For some reason coached don't understand this. Florida and Memphis understood it. Fournette will rush for 250 against them.
I hope Auburn pulls it off but I think the sting of the 4 OT loss coupled with the 11:00 kickoff work too much against them. I may be wrong but I feel like the 11:00 kickoff works against the underdog.
Ole Miss is only a 6 point favorite, for what it's worth...
