So you're sayin' there's a chance!Tigrinum Major said:Hard question to answer. Michigan was sorely unprepared for the Mountaineers. Alabama was well prepared for West Carolina High. Saban had them ready to play, as is his reputation.
However, Saban has gotten beaten by lesser teams in the past, as well as getting blown out by equal or slightly better teams.
Given what we know about Saturday's effort and prep, I would have to say no.
But it is fun to speculate. So I'll conclude with a strong maybe.

That is true. It was '99. Auburn was coming off a 3-8 season, not ranked Number 5 in the nation.BamaDelta said:I'm just glad we didn't play them.
You know Tig, they almost beat Auburn back in '98 or '99. It took the last play of the game (a long pass play for a TD) for AU to win.
They had AU's number ALL night long yet ended up losing in the end...hmmm, that sounds familiar.
