Was Tebow subbing in for Leak not one of the coolest things in college footbal ever? That was ace in the hole with Tebow chomping at the bit. And frick trying to game plan that shite. And people wonder how Meyer won last year with a 3rd stringer last year. It would have been cool if Gus had tried to pull off something like that.

If this is true , why did the Guru that is CGM not make him the starter last year? There is no justification
Wouldn't one justification be that the returning senior QB led the team to within a few seconds of the national championship?

the vast majority of pre season predictions are garbage. but football "fandom" gets suckered in everiy year. it's like the old woman in Appalachia that predicts how severe the winter will be every year or the "meteorologists" that predict the severity of hurricane season every year.

absolute bull shite. but continue to get all worked up over it.

Auburn may very well have issues, but I assure you it's not at the offensive skill positions.

Yep way to cherry pick that one game. It's because Pruitt has finally figured out his offense

Talk about a team with predictions all over the place. Seems no one knows WTF to think about AU this year.


Wow. They have Bama as the no.2 team in total strength but predict less than 9 wins. More than anything that poll shows the fallibility of computer simulations. I wonder what kind of results they would get if they input data for each team a month into the season, and then reran the 10,000 simulations.

I had that figured out. The only true way to know strength of schedule is at the end of the season after teams have proved themselves on the field. That's why I mentioned a re-evaluation a month into the season. It would be a better guage than a preseason guesstimation, and likely have quite a few changes from the list as it now appears.

I don't understand why y'all had so much hype this year anyways. Y'all lost a lot. Auburn sucks
