    And if that doesn't get you excited, how about the electric intensity of Dana Holgorsen and Jeremy Pruitt?

    It's just a feeling of course, but I feel like Auburn is going to destroy Washington and we can get rid of the Pac-12 early in the CFP discussion.

    I tend to agree. Auburn might have the best front 7 in the country, and that includes Alabama and Clemson. If they can solve their O-line issues, they should be very, very good.

    I wouldn't be so sure. The game is being played at a neutral site, you know.....

    A neutral site at which Auburn is 0-2.

    FAU-Oklahoma??? I feel comfortable taking the over and watching an exciting 71-55 game.

    Appalachian State keeps it closer against Penn State than Maryland does with Texas
