Don't think AU will struggle with a rebuilding (?) aggy team
So... Auburn won't struggle w/a rebuilding A&M on the road that they lost to last year at home?
You do realize that A&M was doing more rebuilding last year than they will be this year don't you?

I think they lose at least 2, just like everyone else in the west.
This might be a year where it comes down to who you lose to versus how many you lose.
If you're going to suffer a couple of conference loses, hope they are against teams where the head to head tie breaker would not come into play.
An inconsistent up and down team that loses a couple when they are the favorite but plays their best in big games might find themselves in Atlanta with 2 conference losses.

Nah, all of Auburn's easy games are on the road and the tough ones are all at home. The perfect schedule to go 15-0.

No SEC West schedule is really easy because of the teams you have to play.
That being said, that schedule is favorable. Arkansas will be physical and is a concern. LSU always concerns me. I think people are underestimating A&M at their peril.
However, the toughest games are at home and that will be huge.
I still think the SEC West will be lucky to have any team win without two losses this year.

AU will have a lot of trouble with aTm's receiving corp.
Also, Garrett owns Shon Coleman. That was probably the biggest mismatch i remember seeing all of last year. Garrett was tackled more by Coleman than all the other aTm players on offense were tackled by AUs defense.

So this is where you really start laying it on thick?

You seem really upset at the fact Arky was listed as one of the easy road games. Sorry Arky only has 2 SEC wins in 2 seasons.

There aren't any easy road games in the SEC except for Kentucky and Vandy.

I already said I think Auburn is the favorite to win the West. Sorry I don't think you'll go undefeated.

You're dumb if you can't see that arky is improving big time. IMO we lose by 10+ in that game. They are an awful matchup for us

That's kind of his thing. Come up with a position for an opposing fan base, then talk about how stupid it is.
Arguing with himself really is his only chance at coming out on top.

Well if all your tough games are at home and your easy games are on the road, shouldn't you win all of them?

Who said that all of our easy games are on the road? Our two toughest games on paper are at home against bama and UGA. That doesn't mean that LSU, Arky, or aTm will be easy games. It simply means that everyone would rather have UGA and bama along with the Miss schools at home with the others on the road than have UGA, bama, and the Miss schools on the road with the others at home. No need to be butthurt about your team not being feared quite as much as bama or UGA right now.

Curiously, Auburn has a 58.1% win rate AT Georgia, and only a 21.4% win rate AT LSU.
You would think AU fans would rather have LSU at home and UGA on the road than the reverse.

It's as easy as it gets in the sec. Especially with the OOC

If we were talking about one game, then sure. But we are talking having three of the four teams we lost to in the regular season last year at home instead of on the road.
