Didn't see this posted anywhere but Iowa took care of the Minnesota Hype.
I know today was a bad day injury wise.
Next week we play a team that should allow the guys to rally and Mac get in some good playing time.
Week after we have the barn and should we win out and Baylor lose in the Big Whatever CG then the door is open.
Although there wasn't a post about this, it did get prominent mention in the Auburn/UGA game thread.
I like Minnesota (I'm going up there this week in fact), but these are battle conditions and they had to be destroyed.
I think we're now going to have a problem with Oklahoma as well.
We will need a miracle of 2011-esque proportions, and we may still get passed over under the logic of, "But Tua!"
Our best case scenario is not likely to happen - Mac Jones lighting up Auburn and us walking out of JHS with a resounding three or four-score win.
I know reference has been made to Cardale Jones and Ohio State, but I'd also point out that in their last exhibition for the committee, they won a conference title and scored 59 points against a ranked team.
I'm a strong believer in team concept, but I seriously doubt we could beat Auburn by that much even with Tua playing.
