AUBURN -- Saturday's matchup between No. 1 Auburn (21-1, 9-0) and No. 6 Florida (19-3, 6-3) will be a along the same lines as playing a Houston, Iowa State or Duke, according to head coach Bruce Pearl. "I think this is the third or fourth best team we've played, in the top three of four," Pearl said on Friday. "I'd place them right there with Duke and Houston and Iowa State, you know, Tennessee, the top teams that we played so far. Absolutely. More from Pearl inside.
