This thread brought me back to our Mike Shula days. Thank GAWD they are over


He was a pretty decent QB. Other than that, I don't know what you're talking about.

How was the barn lucky against UF? The game wasn't even close UF lost by more than what the score indicated

Auburn was nothing but freshmen and sophomores last year and yet people think they will just continue to get worse. I just have to at the logic some people on this board have.

3 very good recruiting classes in a row and some of these guys actually have experience now.

I prefer this one.

22 Auburn Tigers
2011 record: 8-5 (4-4 SEC)


Key returnees: RB Onterio McCalebb, TE Philip Lutzenkirchen, C Reese Dismukes, DE Corey Lemonier, DT Jeffery Whitaker, LB Daren Bates

Key losses: RB Mike Dyer, OT Brandon Moseley, OG A.J. Greene

Spring star: CB Jermaine Whitehead

The Tigers don't have many key losses because they were painfully young last season. Young doesn't mean untalented, though. Some quality players learned on the job, and that leaves Auburn in a much better position in 2012. Two new coordinators have brought different schemes to the Plains, and they'll face different challenges. Defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder inherits a unit that got torched by the SEC's best last season, but experience should make the results more palatable this season. Offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler, meanwhile, must pick a quarterback. He'll keep evaluating Kiehl Frazier and Clint Moseley into the preseason.

Marshall that link seems more objective on the state of Auburn football. A lot of players with experience this year, and a top DC with great intensity. If people think this team plays worse then last years, then they are either flaming, trolling, or just plain stupid.

10 regular season wins...the sooner everyone accepts this, the easier it will be on them in the fall.

A year after combining for one offensive touchdown against Alabama and LSU last season, Auburn will be in danger of being shut out by the better defenses in the league. If that’s the case, Auburn is probably closer to missing a bowl game than it is to winning more than eight.

Due to the upgrades on the coaching staff and the development of elite recruiting classes, this team should be improved in 2012. It just may not show up in the win column. Auburn was lucky get wins over South Carolina and Florida and failed to even compete with the better teams in the league — losing by a total of 125 points to Alabama, LSU, Arkansas and Georgia(lol). Those four games will once again be brutal tests but at least the Bayou Bengals, Hogs and Dawgs have to visit Auburn this year. Clemson is again on the schedule as well, so another 8-5 (4-4) season is likely

In order to improve on last year’s eight wins, Auburn needs to pull a few upsets along the way. The Tigers will likely be underdogs in the season opener against Clemson and heads to Mississippi State in Week 2. It’s not out of the question to think Auburn could start 0-2. Games against LSU, Arkansas, Georgia and Alabama would appear to be loses and a trip to Vanderbilt isn’t a guaranteed win.

Auburn is recruiting well, but there are too many question marks to expect a run at the SEC West title. I could see the Tigers finishing the regular season with an 8-4 mark, but would be surprised if they won more than eight games.

New defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder has plenty of starters returning, led by All-SEC end Corey Lemonier and linebacker Daren Bates. Auburn will be an interesting team with a talented roster, but a tough schedule put the forecast at 7-5 for the regular season.


tl;dr

Best case 9-3

Worst case 6-6

Somewhere between there is realistic

Obviously not too sidetracked if you had the time to create a thread about Auburn that's already been started like 10 times
