What does this all mean for Saturday? Most likely that the game will be a high-scoring track meet and that there will be a grand total of zero delay of game penalties.

If the SEC title game is close in the fourth quarter, the advantage should go to Auburn. It's not that they ARE a team of destiny; it's that they BELIEVE they're a team of destiny, which in the world of college sports is a very powerful thing.
