Vote: Is Auburn playing for more than pride?


Tommy Tuberville Win or lose, Monday's Sugar Bowl showdown against Virginia Tech is Auburn's final football game of the season.

But if the Tigers prevail in New Orleans, it won't be the last time you hear about them.

A victory would leave Tommy Tuberville's team 13-0 for the season ... but almost certainly out of the national championship picture. But in the unofficial poll known as public opinion, do the Tigers still have hope? What needs to happen vs. the Hokies to convince you they're the best team in the land?
  • 1) Where do you rank Auburn, entering play on Monday night?
  • 2) Can Auburn do anything against the Virginia Tech to change your mind about ranking them No. 1?
  • 3) How much does Auburn need to win by against Virginia Tech for you to rank them No. 1?
  • 4) If Auburn wins the Sugar Bowl, should they receive a share of the national championship, regardless of what happens in the Orange Bowl?
  • 5) If Auburn wins but you were obligated to vote the Orange Bowl winner No. 1 in the final poll, who would you vote for as the No. 2 team?
  • 6) Who would have been the best BCS opponent for Auburn in the Sugar Bowl, in terms of making a statement to poll voters?
  • 7) Following Utah's 35-7 win against Pitt in the Fiesta Bowl, who do you think is the better team?
  • 8) Who wins the Nokia Sugar Bowl?
  • 9) Which do you enjoy more as a sports fan?
