2009 NCAA Football Rankings - AP Top 25 Week 11 (Nov. 8)

To echo some of your arguments slightly, I think with the low expectations people gave Auburn to begin this year, we have to be one of the SEC's surprise teams this year. Surprise in the sense that most NCAAF analysts had us pegged at another 5-7 or 4-8 record, but we've won 7 so far(as of yesterday) have a reasonably good chance to beat UGA next Saturday night, and we'll take the Iron Bowl when it gets to us, nothing too far ahead for us to think about. Going 8-4 with a bowl win on New Year's Eve gives us 9 wins, that's a successful season with a good future to build on for Auburn fans like myself.

It'd be Even better if we finish in the Top 25 at the very end.
