“It’s not the end of the world.”— Auburn Coach Gus Malzahn, Oct. 14, after a 20-0 lead became a 27-23 loss at LSU. Somehow, 43 days after the horror of it not being the end of the world, Auburn lurks atop its world, and this should remind us of something big. Fans spilled onto the football field at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., Nov. 25 after Auburn beat Alabama. Nobody knew on Oct. 14 we would be talking Auburn this, Auburn that, Auburn to the Southeastern Conference championship game against Georgia, Auburn as potentially the first two-loss team in the short history of the College Football Playoff.
