(EDITED BY AUTHOR: 10/3/2004 - 9:25 p.m.)I've been preaching this sermon all season. It was the supposed bubble teams, Arkansas, Ole Miss and Alabama which worried me more than LSU, UT or Georgia. 2003 withstanding, Tuberville has proven that he more often than not brings the noise to the big games. No, the "big" games aren't the ones that worry me. For this Auburn fan, the biggest game remaining on the schedule isn't Georgia.
The real test comes when we see how Tuberville and this team handles the spotlight against the teams off the radar. Specifically, a low-flying Arkansas team piloted by a coach who at times seems to have secured title to Tuberville's gonads. Ole Miss is weaker than I imagined and Alabama seems to be slipping off the precipice into depths of suckiness unseen for several generations. Arkansas and Houston Nutt, however, are a dangerous team for any SEC team which starts to believe the accolades. More so when you factor in Tuberville's record against Nutt.
