Your original argument stated that "Auburn was utter shit this year." Teams that are utter shit don't beat both Alabama and Georgia by 12 and 23 points, respectively. It's not like Georgia was without Chubb, Michel, and Fromm, or Alabama didn't have four guys in their front seven.

It was a foolish claim borne of ignorance, and your ignorance was further supported when you said that Georgia beat Auburn when both were at full strength (they weren't).

I'm not thinking too hard, you just can't keep your story straight.

Even KSU finds good kickers.

They are a running team, it scares off a lot of top QB's. As for not finding a kicker, couldn't tell ya.

That.

Top qbs want to go to teams where they can’t sling it a bit and possibly show off for the pro scouts.

You go to Bama as a QB, it’s hand the ball off and maybe get 25 chances to throw per game.

Just look at the RBs the last few years. Ingram, Henry, Richardson, Lacy, Yeldon. Etc. absolute workhorse studs in college.
