[The NOTBCS Guy]

A chance? Yes. First games of the season can be tough to call; you never know what's going to happen.

That being said, if you can get Auburn at only 2 1/2 points at -110, smart money says go for it - especially in Auburn's backyard. Never underestimate the power of the crowd.

[Eric Ramon]

I notice all of these SEC neutral site games are not neutral at all. They're all somewhere in the South. LSU vs Wisconsin in Houston. Texas A&M vs Arizona State in Houston. Next year, Auburn vs Oregon in Arlington. Why not in California?

I also notice that when LSU went out of the South to play Wisconsin the Badgers won. So that might keep SEC teams out of the North for awhile.

But this game, Washington vs Auburn, is in Georgia. It's absurd to call that a neutral field. An hour and a half drive, a game, home for dinner vs a long plane ride, hotel accomodations, then the flight back.

It's nearly twice as far from Seattle to Portland as it is from Auburn to Atlanta. So, if Auburn is good (ranked 9th) then why is this make or break for the Pac-12? Auburn *should* win with the game this close to the campus.

because washington is the one sorta highly thought of pac12 team and an early season loss would really hurt their playoff chances...and then who does that leave? Keep in mind this for a conference that was pretty much eliminated very early in the season last year wrt playoffs...

It might even sway Washington’s way. We’re here this weekend and debating bringing the kids back next weekend. There are tons of tickets available and lots of UGA and SPUAT fans that would go to a cheap game in ATL and FOR SURE root against Auburn.

Might you hear an SEC SEC chant if AU won? Sure, but you can bet there would be quite a non-AU contingent rooting against them during the game. All those corporate tickets aren’t going to AU fans.

lmao....Alabama fans are going to watch THEIR game that kicks off immediately after the auburn game. Not be stuck in traffic or in marta lines trying to get home, even for the ones who live near atl. It's cute to think that a team that has won 5 of the last 9 national titles is so invested in what another sec school does that they would miss their teams opener to root against another progam, but uh no.

go fuck yourself. I generally try to be respectful to everyone, including you.

what you did say was the following:

"There are tons of tickets available and lots of UGA and SPUAT fans that would go to a cheap game in ATL and FOR SURE root against Auburn"

I called you out on such obvious bullshit and rightly pointed out that Alabama fans are going to prefer to watch their team play than travel to Atlanta to watch auburn play. Obviously if Alabama fans are going to Atlanta to watch a game that is supposed to conclude when the bama game starts, they are going to be not watching all of their game.

you constantly post shit related to bama with no basis; then when called out about it spin into tangential bullshit mostly unrelated to your initial asinine claim.

I really don't want to be one of the Bama is the greatest ever fans
except in response to someone dissing Bama.

Bama often has an excellent team and it's usually been a pleasure to
follow them since Warren Averitte played center for Bama in the late
30s - and Billy Cadenhead in the late 40s. I knew both before they
went to college although they were ahead of me in high school.

But life and sports are pendulums and cycle - and I don't need to be
riminded of the Ears Whitworth years.

Plus, I think teams are often regarded by outsiders based on how we
act as fans. I thoroughly enjoyed attending games in T-town and
hearing fans say it was one of the nicest places their team ever
played.

I guess it takes all kinds...

So two football giants played a bowl game in Detroit in 2017 - a team
coached by a former assistant director of the athletic dormitory at
Bama whipped the Sled Pullers 36-14.

One son has lived in TX for more than 30 years and a grandson lived

Then you need to be checked by an audiologist quickly.

Snow melts at 40 degrees and I don't think football should be played
on a muddy field for the same reason - it handicaps talent.

All your opinion says is that northern teams need the handicap of poor
footing to compete with Southern teams. You may be right.

My sole position in this thread is that football should not be played
in conditions that handicap talent. To a large degree football is
based on speed and deception. Harsh winter weather handicaps both -
and 3 digit temps can kill.

Weather is not a factor in a domed stadium which makes me wonder why
some MAJOR bowl games are not played in the north. Bama fans filled
the stadium in HI - the drive to Ann Arbor or Columbus would be much
easier since no pontoons would be required for cars.

If Southern teams were not the best they could not get away with

Then why did Alabama take out the artificial turf and put real grass back in?

It is my understanding that turf causes more injuries than a well-kept
grass field. In my era grass fields had potholes. The home team had an
advantage because they knew where most of them were.

But I am talking about weather extremes - snow, ice, heat. People here
are trying to change the parameter to more moderate conditions and
make that my point.

Hugh

[dnrapp]

There is more likely to be extreme heat in the south that would be harmful to player performance in Sept that there is extreme cold in Sept in the north. Or else you are saying that the best conditions to play football in Sept is a place that is not too cold, not too hot and doesn't rain. I think that Northern California fits that description to the tea. Just about he only major southern teams to play in Northern California in Sept in the last 25 years that I can remember are Miami, Texas, Tennessee and this year North Carolina.

In a domed stadium it doesn't matter where the game is played. Bama
has possibly played more northern teams than almost any other team
over the years. Home and home with Penn State and Nebraska were
outstanding.

Most northern teams are too haughty to play smaller schools and give
them the largest payday they will ever have to help them improve their
programs. But they don't hesitate to use that as an excuse for getting
beat in championship games.

I suspect most years LA Tech and Grambling would give a few teams in
the BIG TEAT Conf. a good game. I suppose that's why northerm teams
schedule each other.

Maxime Hame savors Washington:

6 Washington (+1.5) vs. No. 9 Auburn — Atlanta: I’m high on Washington this season, as its my grab to take the Pac-12 and operate a College Soccer Playoff berth. Plenty of the the reason why I savor Washington could perchance moreover just level-headed visual show unit up in this basic conflict against Auburn in Atlanta on Saturday.Washington is a talented and experienced group. It has 17 returning starters, including a senior quarterback in Jake Browning, a talented running abet in Myles Gaskin and most of its offensive line. It also returns 9 gamers on a spacious defense, including most of the line of defense — and that’s where I survey Washington’s very finest advantage in this game. Auburn has an improbable line of defense as effectively, but the Tigers have one in every of the least experienced offensive lines within the nation. That is one thing I query Washington and its defense so as to resolve advantage of. Washington 31, Auburn 27

Atlanta: I'm high in Washington this season, getting ready for a Pac-12 ride and running the Playoff College football platform. Many of the reasons why I tasted Washington could turn into a visual display unit at a higher level in this fundamental conflict against Auburn in Atlanta on Saturday. Washington is a talented and experienced group. She has 17 junior players, including a prominent player in Jake Browning, a talented professional at Miles Gaskin and most of her offensive line. It also brings 9 players back to a wide defense, including most of the defense line - and this is where I explore the best feature in Washington in this game. Auburn has an unlikely defense line, but the Tigers have one in each of the less experienced offensive lines within the nation. This is something that Washington is questioning and defending to solve. Washington 31, Auburn

You keep trying to modify what I say. Cold and windy and seeing one's
breath are not extreme weather conditions.

In IN and KY more b'ball is played outdoors than in. Almost every
