The fact that Sean Payton and Mike McCarthy have had the same career is a conversation that nobody who covers this sport wants to have #AFCChampionshipGame
That game was the Packers season in a nutshell. Look like the best team in the league. Then all of sudden don’t know how to play football. #Packers#NFLPlayoffs
There is a very similar analog to this situation.
In 2017, No. 2 Auburn lost 28-7 to Georgia in an SEC title game rematch.
It was Auburn's third loss.
They dropped five spots to No. 7.
Alabama at 11-1 and idle moved into the field.
We’ve reached a point in this sport where the integrity of the game is being questioned week after week, due to the disgraceful officiating in the SEC.
Last night I left JHS with a sickening feeling like I haven’t felt since… well 3 weeks ago.
I have no doubts that this game Saturday was not incompetence, but a clear agenda set by the SEC and the review center in Birmingham.
When everyone on either side of the isle and members of the National media are calling what we had to watch last night crooked and rigged it’s time to take a look.
It’s screw Auburn at all costs and the people don’t know why.

Saban lost to unranked ULM with Shula's players. Didn't lose to an unranked opponent for 14 years.
Deboer lost to an unranked team within 5 games with Saban's players
Let that sink in
Fun stat that others have posted but worth repeating ...
Saban retires having never beaten an Auburn team that finished with 9 or more wins. Between his tenures at LSU and Alabama he faced such teams 8 times and lost them all:
at LSU
2000 (9-4)
2002 (9-4)
2004 (13-0)
at Alabama
2007 (9-4)
2010 (14-0)
2013 (12-2)
2017 (10-4)
2019 (9-4)
