Last year I said Oklahoma would improve dramatically after dumping a dreadful Arnold. This implicitly warned of forthcoming doom for Auburn's offense. AU fans got mad. I was right.
This year, AU offensively is 25 OU imo. Brown is a bigger upgrade from Arnold than Mateer imo.
Path to Omaha Average Difficulty
Oklahoma and Ole Miss the only two to eclipse 5.0 in average TSR faced. Alabama had a quite generous path to Omaha.
No one had to play the maximum of 8 games to make it. 4 teams swept their way to Omaha, with 7 (!!) sweeps during Supers.
