Just re-watched the Iron Bowl... Auburn has to be the SEC Favorite

I don't see how anyone says otherwise.
They return pretty much the only important position on the field - their entire offensive line - except for LT. If you can block the scheme, it's basically unstoppable.
Jay Prosche might be missed - because not only was he a dominant blocker, he was extremely smart and fundamentally sound.
The difference between last year and this year for Auburn will be that those close calls they had last year will not be close games this year. They will beat LSU by double digits, and will handle Georgia.
Their only true test will be in Tuscaloosa, and I'm not convinced Saban and Smart can come up with a defensive scheme good enough to stop Malzahn's zone read run game.
At one point, Auburn ran the same exact play 5 or 6 times in a row, and there wasn't a damn thing we could do about it. It was frustrating to watch.
How any "expert" could pick anyone other than Auburn to win the SEC West is beyond me.

The best part is you know he doesn't believe one word of that shite.

I know it's there, but I don't see it.

I've got a job. As a matter of fact, the reason I just finished re-watching the Iron Bowl is directly related to my job.

They will lose their first game and then run the table

Well better NG play from us having more depth and experience there and bigger Middle backers could actually help to negate this dive play that is the key stone in this offense. Everything runs off the dive/power run.

I don't know if Alabama can stop that defense but I know we won't be able to beat them with a "Game Manager."
Personally, I think that offense is pretty damn efficient and when they don't score, its usually AU's fault.

I believe every word of it. As a matter of fact - I didn't believe any of that until I re-watched the entire film and focused primarily on Auburn's offense.
I'd like someone to offer an opinion based on football knowledge that would challenge those thoughts. I just don't see it.

You described the second half of the BCSCG.

Yes, AU will probably have the best team in the sec this year. No to being the sec favorite.
If AU gets to Atl, fine AU is definitely the favorite.
However bama is probably second best and plays the weakest schedule in the west while AU plays the toughest.
