Do you really feel like we're a #1 or #2 team?

Am I on my own in thinking that we're just getting put this high by default? I could be proved wrong, but I just don't know that we're on that level. Posibarners please prove me wrong.

Who could you rank above us? At this point either a team is unproven or has lost. Also, we are really good. Our defense looks to be stout and anyone on our offense can score at anytime from anyplace on the field. We aren't the same team that got 545 yards in the SEC championship game, we are a much more balanced team. As the season goes on and we are actually tested I'm sure we'll see the team show us what it is made of.

You're just repeating my point. I understand why we're as high as we are. I'm asking if fellow Auburn fans feel our current ranking is indicative of how good we actually are.

I think so, I just hope we can stay consistant. I also think the rest of this season is about to make me load up on some Jameson and Chopin for my pantry. I think we can run the table. I'll feel even more confident if we can get the W next weekend. State is a good looking team to me and I think it'll be our most convincing win. Especially if they keep doing well (aside from a loss next weekend.)

We're off to such a weird season. I don't sit here comfortably thinking about Auburn being #1 or #2. I mean, I love seeing it, but it doesn't make me think that Miss St. or Bama couldn't boatrace any other team in the SEC. Auburn still has to face their toughest opponents yet. Can't wait to see what happens!

Yes.

Look at the Kansas state score vs texas tech.
Look at what arkansas is putting on the field.
We just handed Leslie miles his worst career loss at lsu and may have changed the direction of his tenure there.

Auburn turned the corner in the 4-5th week and started clicking on all cylinders last year.

I suspect you just saw it again this year. We find out next week in starkvwgas.

If we win by 10-14 next weekend, we gonna win the whole thing bitches!

No, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing... There is definitely room for improvement.

Yes. We could have scored 60-70 on lsu last night and Gus held back. Now that may mean that lsu is just a really bad team, but we were scoring at will at the start of the game. Defense went beast mode and I saw real tackles last night. And the defense never quit, it was glorious. They never got a 3rd down conversion. That's saying something.

We should be number one. We are beating decent teams unlike that shithole, piece of trash, rape school FSU who struggled with nc state and wake forrest in the first half.


I do believe this week will be a test, but I believe it'll be a high scoring game and Auburn will win.


Posibarner Captain signing off.
God bless America and God bless Auburn.

If we continue to play like we did last night, then we go undefeated

We are awesome when we are firing on all cylinders. Our defense is legit.

I do think we are as good as anybody, so far.

I feel like we could beat anybody an any given day. I also think there are still a couple of teams on our schedule that you could say the exact same thing about. I don't think we go undefeated. We just need to win the West. There is no way that the committee doesn't take the SEC Champ. With the way other teams around the country are losing, the SEC may get two teams in.

In some years no, but this year we have as good a shot as anyone. There are clearly no great teams. This is as wide open as I've ever seen it.

Don't be afraid of #1. If we lose then we lose. So be it. I'll take #1 or 2 every time over #20 even if we don't deserve it.

This has to help recruiting long term. Flips will happen.

I would put us at 4th. I don't think we could beat the Seahawks, Cowboys, or Eagles.

We don't have to be better than a 1970 Bama, or 2004 USC. We just have to be the best team this year.

I agree. I am a huge BOOM fan, and hate it for him, but I think we may be able to get a few of theirs.

I feel like we're a top 1 or 2 team. I hate our schedule. Give us FSUs schedule and we would definitely make it to the playoffs.

Out OL blocking improved but against a mediocre LSU team. If our OL plays better and Nick continues to improve at QB I could see it.

At this moment in time I do not see top 1/2 for us
