The team had just won one of the greatest games in SEC history. The team was #2 in the nation and clearly the best team in the SEC. This team only had to win the SEC championship game against a team that had gone 5-3 in conference to go to the mythical national championship game. The championship game was just supposed to be a speed bump on the way. The #2 team had also ALREADY BEAT the 5-3 team during the regular season. It was all going exactly as planned till the 5-3 team upset them in the SEC championship game. The year was 2001, the team on the way to the mythical national championship was Tennessee and the team that upset them in the SEC championship game was LSU.
Clearly the scenario is very similar to the one facing the Auburn Tigers. Beware Auburn, your greatest trap might lay where you least expect it. Like LSU in 2001, South Carolina has a great coach at the helm. No coach has won more SEC championship games (no coach is even close). It would be a huge mistake to underestimate South Carolina and Steve Spurrier. Most Auburn fans will say that won't happen to this team, but beware, Tennessee fans were saying the same thing in 2001.
