Keeping that chip: Auburn uses All-SEC snubs as motivation

AUBURN, Ala. – The SEC postseason awards, as voted on by the league’s coaches, were released Tuesday, and not only did an Auburn player not win conference player of the year, there wasn’t a single Auburn player among the eight players named First-Team All-SEC.

How rare is that? It’s the first time since 1956, when the coaches began voting on an All-SEC team, that the regular-season champions have not had at least one player make the first team.

Bryce Brown would have made sense.
