<p>If you&#8217;re looking for the English translation,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>If you completely remove 2010 from the chart above, you get a pretty clearly defined, seven-year downward trend. That Auburn not only bucked its trend and played at an elite level in 2010, but <i>won a national title</i>, is still just the damnedest thing.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Of course Matt Hayes would tell you that&#8217;s just the result of playing Georgia every year.</p>
