Auburn is scrambling now after that narrow win last night and will attempt to lay claim to any split national championship that anyone will award them. But they will not be successful at this I believe because of the factor of Utah. Last year as you recall there was no team outside of the traditional conferences and then they changed the rule to allow a team like Utah to play in the Fiesta Bowl. Last year the second place team, Oklahoma played in the Sugar Bowl. Remember that Oklahoma had been number one for most of last season until they lost the the Big 12 Championship game to Kansas State. Then Kansas State played in the Fiesta Bowl. What Auburn needed to do this year was to play a higher ranked team than Va. Tech in order to lay claim to a split national championship. Texas or California would have been both higher ranked tems for them to play than the Hokies. But because the rules were changed and Utah was allowed in and the split national championship will never happen . Tubs will protest but to no avail. He will claim that he may never have a perfect team again and we Bama fans will hope that that will the case. But the the national championship is not a lifetime achievement award it goes to the team that the voters choose. Auburn will be number two and will hate it. My, my how times have changed!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE PERCY!!!!! I AM READY TO MOVE ON TO 2005!!!
