Auburn gets to enter next season as the hunted, not the team that went 3-9. Considering they escaped by the skin of their teeth on several occasions this year against subpar competition I doubt they're able to maintain this level of success with a target on their back.

You also have to consider that Auburn most likely only improves next year with almost all starters coming back on offense and most coming back on defense. We should have a nice influx of talent on defense in key spots too. Have Tre Williams coming in at LB and Roberts and most likely Bessent coming into the secondary. Not to mention getting Garrett (supposed to be best player on the defense in preseason), Whitaker and Holsey back from injury next year.

I think there is a very good chance Auburn is a better team next year, but it's also quite likely we won't get through unscathed.
