I root for AU. But last year with Bama I pulled for them. Rather see any SEC team in the title game than another conference. Really would like to see AU get in, but they are going to have to run the table to do it. No small feat.
This is my prejudice talking, but I'd take a one loss Auburn over an undefeated TCU or Boise State. I know TCU has played a reasonably good schedule, but it still is not a major conference with it's week in week out demands. Neither of those two teams would be undefeated in a major. Injuries, players and coaches would have to handle big adjustments and replacements during games and in cases for the remainder of the season. They are not up to that level.
