If the plan is to get Auburn overconfident, Arizona is playing their part perfectly. They look inept and defenseless in tonight's Alamo Bowl, trailing 23-7 at halftime. Nick Foles served up a pick six, and the secondary let Justin Blackmon loose for a 71-yard touchdown reception. Down 16, the Wildcats have abandoned the run and Foles is getting pummeled.
Tomorrow night, Washington is liable to repeat the result, and the conference will be off to an 0-2 start in bowl games. Stanford has Va Tech in the Orange and they're favored. Will it be the last college game for Jim Harbaugh and Andrew Luck?
Of course if Oregon wins the National Championship Game, the league's reputation gets an instant and irrefutable boost. If Auburn wins, the SEC honking will be insufferable. I may have to move to New Zealand.
Put a plane ticket on reserve for me, because if Auburn wins, I'll be cheering for the All Blacks for the next 7-something years.
