I think Auburn is the type of team that tries to play conservative offense, and whup up on D. Lay and wait for other teams to make mistakes. So they can beat teams like Florida and lose to bad teams. USF was not the bad team they lost to.
And I for one think USF can play with any team in the nation if they play well with the possible exception of LSU that will pummel any team if they play well.
I do not think LSU gets to a bowl game undefeated this year.
