Here's a look at Auburn's 2010 Schedule:

Sept. 4     Arkansas State          W
Sept. 9    @ Mississippi State      W
Sept. 18   Clemson                    W (possible loss)
Sept. 25   South Carolina            W
Oct. 2      Louisiana-Monroe        W
Oct. 9     @ Kentucky                W
Oct. 16    Arkansas                    W (possible loss)
Oct. 23    LSU                           L
Oct. 30    @ Mississippi               W

Nov. 13    Georgia                      W
Nov. 26    @ SPuat                    L


If I'm supposed to have faith in Gene Chizik as a coach, then with the incoming prospective talent, I have to believe he will only be out-coached/out-talented in two games.  The others SHOULD be wins. 

As for Clemson, I think Sweeney had them on a roll at the end of the season.  I expect their defense to be stout along with a potent rushing attack on offense.  However, the game being at home means it should be a win. 

Arkansas returns an incredible offense, but I think we shut it down with our crowd noise.  Our offense should roll through their defense which is not going to be improved.

If we lose to Mississippi State on any night of the week, I will be worse that GreaseyWeasel on this board.

9-3, POSSIBLE SEC WEST but not likely. Bama will be good again.

Hopefully with a bowl win, we'll finish with 10 wins and go rocking n rolling into the 2011 season.

Too early

True....until we even know what the QB situation looks like and what some of these freshman look like, we don't know much (even after spring, with so many new faces, we still won't know much....not until Sept. 9).

But since it's February and we're bored....

I'd break it up into "should win", "should lose", and "toss up".  I put these in order of "most likely to win" to "most likely to lose".

Should win:
Arkansas State
Louisiana Monroe
Chattanooga
South Carolina
Kentucky
Ole Miss

Because Kentucky and Ole Miss are road games, this group should be 6-0 best case, 4-2 worst case.

Toss Up:
Mississippi State
Arkansas
Georgia
Clemson
LSU

At least all but MSU are home games...4-1 best case, 2-3 worst case.  I really wanted to put MSU and Arkansas in the other group, but MSU on the road early in the year will be a tough win, and Arkansas can score with us, so who knows on that one too.

Should Lose:
Alabama

Duh....best case we win, most likely we lose.

So best case is something around 10-2 or 11-1.  But that's a very, very best case.  Worst case is 6-6, which would be less shocking than 11-1.

So assuming we go "middle of the road" on the groups above (5-1 in the first group, 3-2 in the second group), I say 8-4 or 9-3, depending on how the Alabama game goes.  So hopefully a bowl game means 9 or 10 wins.

That would be outstanding to me.

Don't forget, just because we had a great recruiting class doesn't mean we'll be significantly better in 2010.  A local radio guy here always says there are three things that scare him....midgets, antique furniture, and rookies.  Freshman are unknowns.  We don't know how they'll pan out.  And even if they are talented like we think...they are young, they are inexperienced, and therefore inconsistent and unreliable.

For defense, having inexperienced and inconsistent "bodies" will be a step up from having no "bodies" at all.  But still, we should be realistic...they aren't going to turn things around overnight.

Factor in a new QB and new feature back running the ball....we should have our sights set similar to last year, with maybe a game better because of schedule.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Just buy a case one week prior to the first game.  It should last at least till week three.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Wise words.

I say 8-4 regular season, and hopefully win a bowl game. That'd be an improvement over last year. Slow improvement is good, as long as we're not taking any steps backward.

If we lose to Mississippi State on any night of the week, I will be worse that GreaseyWeasel on this board.
Saban in his first year (and Tuberville's Auburn that same year) think that'd be overreacting to a distinct possibility.

It's not like they're LaMonroe. That'd be reason to break out the pitchforks.
