I doubt it. I can definitely see UCF winning. They're really good. AU might win, but I don't see any blowouts.
And Killins is right about one thing, he's probably faster than just about anyone on Auburn's roster. Dude is fast.

1. Fans don't use it for themselves. They may use it as a hashtag when referring to the team. It was coined by the coaches for the team and it works for them so that's all that matters.
2. You were the first person to bring it up in this thread. Just sayin'...

Lol yep on the 1st page of the thread. Google image search for fierce is leopards and Tyra Banks... rawr
Also, so what coaches coined it. Do they take the rights with them?
How many points was Baylor supposed to win by when they played UCF? I know that there were excuses back than and I expect excuses to continue again if Auburn should lose. While we're at it, how many points was Houston supposed to lose to FSU.
BTW, the SEC got crushed by the ACC this year. Can anyone say "OVERRATED" the SEC this year anyway? It's the no QB conference, other than Cam and the Mannings brothers.

Maybe it is good for some smack talk. That way they can say they were motivated and if UCF wins, we don't have to hear any crap about how they weren't motivated to play. That's the single biggest cop out this time of year.
The Catch-22 for AAC schools playing a P5 school pushed by the sports media is an AAC win is due to an unmotivated P5 school where as an AAC loss is due to the overwhelming might of the P5 school. The third option that the AAC school is the better team is not entertained.
That "catch-22" can be overcome this year by Memphis beating ISU , Navy beating UVA
And USF beating Texas tech. Those wins would indicate a pattern rather than an "anomaly " that would be impossible to overlook especially this bowl season . I think that could add total validity to a UCF beating Auburn this year. It may also make the argument of UCF and the AAC being under ranked by the committee louder
There is no Catch-22, it's an established order. No matter how many times someone outside the order upends someone in the order, the order remains the same. It was a fluke if they win or it goes to show lower conference teams can't cut it if they lose. And if someone from outside the order does it enough, they usually get pulled in, like the Arizonas and Houston in the 70's, TCU, Louisville and Utah the last few years to name a few.

Exactly this. #swagger
UCF will do just fine thank you. The SEC is mediocre swell and has been for the last few years. #SECMyth #Power6

I think under that scenario no one would dare say that Auburn "wasn't motivated " , and could that game garner tv ratings that could propel the p6 narrative to new hieghts. How great would that be with contract negotiations right around the corner
Lets just start by winning the 1st of those games'
