Chick-Fil-A Bowl
Streak:
Auburn: Won it's last contest vs Alabama
Clemson: Won it's last vs South Carolina
Auburn Advantages:
As usual, The Tigers have one of the toughest defenses in the country. They can hang with anybody.
Had an awesome win against Florida and shoulda knocked off LSU, except Les Miles is an evil genius.
Auburn Disadvantages:
Other than the Gators, Tommy Tuberville hasn't done too much this season.
The offense is as stanky as Mark Mangino's bathroom after Mexican night.
Clemson Advantages:
Cullen Harper has come from out of nowhere to become one of the best QBs in the ACC.
Though Clemson may play in the ACC, they certainly have an SEC quality defense, top 10 in the nation.
They've won 5 of their last six, scoring 42.8 points per game in those wins. 4 of those 5 came against bowl eligible teams. The only loss in that strech was by three to a good Boston College team.
Clemson Disadvantages:
As always, Tommy Bowden is in the fans' hot seat.
They seem to have trouble protecting the QB, allowing 2.67 sacks per game this season.
Writer's Predictions:
okluschen: Clemson. These teams have a lot in common. Both are called the Tigers. Both have coaches named Tommy. Both have elite college defenses. However, Clemson does have the upper hand, in that they have the better offense by far. Expect Clemson to win the slug fest, with the point total not exceeding 24.
Zorgon: Auburn. The SEC is probably the toughest conference in the land, and Auburn has been a trooper. They have a bad loss to Mississippi State, but comeon, Clemson? They have no power wins, and really have no place being ranked #15. Auburn torches Clemson, and then eats them for dinner. Then, they reheat Clemson in the microwave and eats the rest for breakfast.
Jason Frost: TLC
Bottom Line: Clemson 2, Auburn 0.
