interesting story relating to the auburn over at Rivals. you see, the tigers enter the season as the favorites to win the SEC. which means they probably won't.

as rivals explains it... "the SEC media have correctly picked the conference champion just twice in the last 14 years. the 1994 and 1995 florida teams were the ones to make good on the media's promise... this so-called jinx lately has proved even more troublesome than usual... tennessee was picked to win the conference last year and responded with its first losing season since 1988. auburn topped the preseason media poll three years ago and dropped its first two games by a combined score of 40-3.

so will the Tigers succumb to or overcome the SEC jinx in 2006, because i don't think they will.
