It is finally game week and in just a few days, half the teams in America will have a loss. For some teams, that loss won’t torpedo their chances to be in contention for a National Championship run. In just a few days, all the superlatives, all the hyperbole, all of the preseason talk simply will not matter. Perhaps the best part of all of this is how the off field issues will take a back seat, if not disappear all together when the play on the field begins.
For the most part, there isn’t a team in America that this applies to more than the Auburn Tigers.
