Same.
And those of you projecting the B'ham bowl, I think that's setting the bar a little high. I think it's gonna take more than a few upsets to be bowl eligible.
I seriously am not sure we can beat Arkansas State, much less any SEC team on our schedule. Vandy's the only one I'd put us over 50% on and that's if we take them seriously.
Are y'all aware that Arkansas State has former Oklahoma quarterback Justice Hansen, former Alabama defensive lineman Dee Liner, former all-star TCU return man Cameron Echols-Luper (Curtis's boy), and many other top-level transfer talent?
I'm predicting pain, but it's gonna be ours.
Look I get your stance.
However what everyone is overlooking is that we are in a new year. With new teams.
Honestly, (and I'm not saying they are gonna suck because that backfires on me every year) if you look at all of the SEC teams including bama they have same amount if not more question marks than we do. QB issues...check, RB depth...check, OL loss of players...not for us.
Arkansas- new QB,
LSU- still one sided offense, Forunette tweaked his ankle don't tell me he isn't looking to the pros.
Ole Miss- Solid team pretty much intact from last year, off field issues though
Miss State- No Dak I say they return to bottom
aTm- QB issues, team issues
UGA - new coach...new qb
Vandy- still vandy
Look I have been an Auburn fan a long time. I get it! We cocoon ourselves as to not be disappointed. Most of us don't want to get excited, because excitement leads to heartbreak when it comes to our team.
I get those that think 8 wins is doable, I don't get the total destruction theory though. We were 6-6 last year with pretty much the same schedule save for Clemson (which is obviously an upgrade). Even if our offense has not improved from last year (which I think it will), I know just the pure addition of Carl Lawson makes our defense better than last year, including better LB play. Based on that you have to be at the minimum a 6 win season...with a potential to increase from there.
