SEC Defense.  SEC Size.  SEC Speed.  These are all common catch phrases thrown around by commentators that really don’t mean anything.  What they mean is the elite teams in the SEC.  Most of the SEC doesn’t even have “SEC Defense” unless that moniker now means average.  Today I take a quick look at SEC Size, or more accurately BCS conference teams that Auburn has faced this season, along the offensive line and how that compares to what Florida State possesses.  As you can see, FSU is bigger across the line at every position than the average that Auburn has faced this season.  As a team, FSU will be the 3rd largest offensive line that Auburn has faced.  However, looking at the chart, size along the offensive line doesn’t automatically mean good offense.  The two best offenses Auburn has faced this year ranked by S&P+, Georgia #7 and Texas A&M #5, have two of the smaller offensive lines. The two biggest offensive lines, Ole Miss #49 and Arkansas #68, have two of the worst offenses Auburn has faced.

Now we’ll take a quick look at Auburn’s offensive line compared to the offensive lines of the BCS conference teams that Florida State has faced.  As you can see from the chart below, Auburn is right at the average that FSU has faced this year and will be tied for the 5th biggest line that FSU has gone up against in 2013.
