Auburn or Tennessee

They rolled vanderbilt like crazy, and while thats not much of an achievement, they were 4 inches away from beating number 4 LSU. Also, I would be willing to bet that no one here who says auburns D is "bad" watched ANY of their games. Auburn's second string defense was in the second half of EVERY GAME except the WVU game. Auburn's D does need some improvement, but they are by no means bad. Yes we gave up 30 points to ball state, but the 1st string gave up only 17 to them, and 7 of those were off of a special teams blunder that set up ball state on the 18. Just throwin it out there, but Tennessee kinda squeaked by OHIO and allowed them 24 points....but i dont know if they were subbing (comments on that please if you have them). In 2004 we went into this same game as a 1.5 dog in Knoxville against a Tennessee team that was allowing 20 points per game....won it 34-10. Now in 2009 we are going in as about a 2 point dog into knoxville against a tennessee team that is allowing 18 points per game, only this time our offense is tied with florida's for being the best in the country. Tennessee's D is busted up and missing their MLB, while Auburns D is rested up cuz they only played half a game last saturday. Tennessee's O was basically born busted, (except for their one RB who is freakin amazing) and Auburns O is on a record setting pace. I wish i could say that i am unbiased but, i am an Auburn fan, and because of that would love to hear someones actual analysis on why Tennessee wins this. Unless Im missing something crazy, Auburn wins this one. War Eagle!
