For those of you who are looking to see Auburn football after the Iron Bowl, you're in luck.
Although we have not received a bowl bid yet, it is likely we will.
The Tigers became bowl eligible by beating the Ole Miss Rebels in a game filled with exciting plays on both sides of the ball.
We are 6-3 right now and play the Furman Paladins for Homecoming this weekend, which should be an easy win if we play like we did last Saturday.
I think it is safe to say, not many people predicted us to be 7-3 going into the Georgia game, and with the way Georgia has been playing, we have a shot at winning that game as well.
Whenever you hire a new head coach, you want to see progress throughout the year even if the team isn't winning games, and this was definitely the case last Saturday.
I was curious to see how we would react after dropping three straight games after going 5-0.
Sure it's easy to stay motivated after a win, but it takes a lot more to stay motivated after a loss. I'm glad to see we didn't give up and lose the last six out of our seven games like we did last year.
Special teams came out and hit hard on opening kickoff and set the tone early on.
I enjoyed watching cornerback Walter McFadden give Ole Miss receiver Shay Hodge an earful after every play and Terrell Zachery make some great catches.
Auburn is once again receiving votes to be in the top 25 and things look good for the coming weeks.
Not only was it a great weekend of football for the Auburn faithful, but for college football fans in general.
This weekend included some great games, all of which were a joy to watch.
So much even that I didn't care to watch any part of the World Series game three. I'm sure it was a great game to watch, from what I saw of the highlights, but to me, nothing could get me away from the Southern California vs. Oregon game.
It's been a while since there was such a high profile game that not only lived up to my expectations, but surpassed them.
When I found out the Ducks were playing in Eugene against the Trojans, I was hoping for a great game.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw the Ducks rack up 47 points and take complete control of the game.
Along with Oregon, the Texas Longhorns deserve credit for a great win.
The 'Horns proved worthy of their new No. 2 spot in the AP Poll and I would say they could beat both Alabama and Florida after what I saw Saturday.
Honestly, the Gators no longer impress me.
Sure they find ways to win, but I believe they are no longer the unbeatable team they used to be.
My prediction for the national championship game is Florida versus Texas with a Longhorn win.
Let's see what happens.
