I'm not sure I would consider beating Auburn in OT as "taking it to them". Auburn is a middle of the pack SEC team this year. They have lost to Miss. St. Their only decent win is against a Florida team that was clearly looking past them to their game with LSU. USF would be a middle of the pack SEC team at best.
