Georgia Southern is a glorified scrimmage, so Clemson is the first real game.

So we have a better chance to beat Alabama than UGA has to beat us?
Sounds about right.

Also, we should have a better chance of beating LSU than UGa. I consider both to be about 50/50 at this point.

Im expecting a 2011 AU type season for Clemson.

Except that it is in Baton Rouge and Auburn can't win there

That's such a stupid narrative

But a fairly accurate one

We have ridiculous levels of struggles in Baton Rouge, Memorial and Rupp/Lexington. Just known facts
Baton Rouge - (5-17-1)
Memorial (BBall) - (13-35)
Rupp/Lexington KY - (2-43)

Great. So that means we'll end up 7-6 or 8-5 like we usually do when we start in the top 5.

We are 11-4 at home and 3-10 in Red Stick. But no one ever talks about how LSU "can't win in Jordan-Hare".

It's because us losing in BR started after the notorious cigar game. So many LSU fans still get wrapped around the axle on that for whatever reason

I don't get too excited over these early predictions. I would rather be way down and exceed expectations on the field.
I am not ready to buy a t-shirt.

That's bc everybody on this board is under 25.
The fact we haven't won there in a while will have zero bearing on how the 2017 LSU game will play out.

15-0 Ship!

I will wait to see 5 or 6 games before I get in line. But when I do, I will get a T-shirt and a cap
But I am just gonna sit back and watch this thing unfold...

There's a decent contingent of us "more mature" posters.

I reaaaally don't see a reason we should be up so high. We have holes that one spring game isn't going to plug.

What holes? Injury on the O-line? TE? Everyone not named Bama has holes, but this Auburn team is as deep as it's been since 2004. Auburn is ranked where they should be for the first time in a long time. Hell, AU scores if the get within 35 yards of the goal-line, almost automatically, that's a hell of a luxury. This puzzle is going to come together this season, and barring injury to Stidham, AU will more than likely have consecutive 10+ win seasons.
