Reasons why Auburn is the NCAA National Champion
- Beat then-No. 5 LSU, the undefeated defending national champions.
- Beat then-No. 10 Tennessee, in Knoxville by 24 points.
- Beat then-No. 8 Georgia in 24-6 slaughter.
- Beat, for a second time, the SEC West champions Tennessee in the SEC Championship.
- Beat No. 9 Virginia Tech, a team on an eight-game winning streak, in a pressure-packed, everybody’s watching bowl game.
- Proven they are the best team in the SEC and the ACC, the NCAA’s top football conferences.
- Has the 5th best total defense in the NCAA, ahead of No. 6 USC and No. 7 Oklahoma.
Update: And the final reason…The Orange Bowl wasn’t a national championship game. Oklahoma showed that they didn’t deserve to be there.
