Why not?

Seems like they have a lot going for them in 2015. But this is Auburn, the have been know to fall right on their face in seasons with high expectations.

I think they will win the West this year, and thus the SEC.

I think they're easily the favorite to win it but whether or not they win it is a different story

Who cares who the favorite is? They are still going to play the games to determine the winner.

No, the addition of Muschamp will finally prove once and for all that it's impossible for HUNH spread teams to field good defenses. I'ma laugh when he has an aneurysm from watching his tired arse defense get drug up and down the field, specifically by Dan Enos and the wonder due of Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins

A competent QB in Gus's offense is a scary thought.

I think Auburn is the favorite mostly because who else would you pick? Every other top SEC team has big time questions at QB while Jeremy Johnson is expected to be very good.
You already know GUS will put out a good product on offense, and this is probably the most talented he's had yet. Good QB with a great arm. Most talented stable of RBs he's had. Arguably the best WR in the SEC and maybe the country. Talented and export ended O Line.

On defense everybody knows Auburn has struggled in recent memory, but this should far and away be our most talent s defense since Tuberville was the HC and we have a proven DC in Will Muschamp that's produced nothing but solid defenses as a DC in his career.

Has he ever been a DC for a HUNH team?

I'll wait

AU mostly runs a no huddle with only situational hurry up. The numbers show AUs offense isn't much faster than many traditional SEC offenses and the TOP is pretty close as well.

Clemson had the #1 total defense and #3 scoring defense in the country last season.

Do you know who their OC was? Chad Morris, a GUS disciple

With the media's track record. I wouldn't want to be the favorite. It will be interesting to see how the media votes at SEC Meda Days.

Gus has been a head coach for 3 years at 2 schools, he has no disciples

I'm glad everyone is picking against Alabama for the first time in almost a decade. Should keep our boys hungry.

That's a pretty ignorant statement.
