It doesn't have anything to do with you as a poster. It has everything to do with you growing up in Louisiana then deciding to be an Auburn fan. You're a traitor, plain and simple.



Its pretty simple. AU was just a better school to attend for me.

I am very glad this has pushed you over the edge of madness.

It's totally cool to be from Louisiana and decide to be a 49ers fan though.

To be fair, as I stated earlier, I think that ranking is too high for LSU, losing 2 wr's, 2 rb's, qb, and 1 ol, along with the defensive losses which are not nearly as much this year.


I just don't understand all these teams you guys think should be ranked higher? LSU is probably one of the top 5 most talented teams in the country still. The last five seasons they have finished 14th, 14th, 2nd, 8th, and 17th. That's an average of 11th and there has been plenty of talent leaving every year. ESPN has you 12th, right about the average of the last 5 years.

Oregon ahead of Bama and Little Brother is hilariously stupid.


Oregon in front of bama is not stupid, IMO.

Well in my opinion, Oregon has been hilariously overrated for far too long. Their last two Stanford games shows us what happens when they play a team that plays real football.

That's a little high. I would have ranked us around the 13-15th range. New QB with a new Defense. Defense is returning virtually everyone. Same goes for offense. Our team will be good but i'm cautiously optimistic this year.

WTF why is UF being put in the top 25?


It takes pollsters a while to give up on a traditionally dominant team, especially when despite last year, UF did pretty damned well the year before.

I'm not so sure on this, as others have said. Too much changing with a new QB and new O coord. Hope they're right though... plus ESPN loves us and so do the refs. We got this shite!

I think UF will be better next year. At least 7-8 wins. It won't be enough to save Muschump but they will be improved. Their defense will be salty. Their offense will improve... Christ it couldn't be any worse. I think the east will come down to UGA, UF, and USCe.

Stanford is losing too many players but we'll see.

Honestly for one, I haven't seen what everyone is returning, especially outside the SEC. Also we lose most of the offense including QB, and there looks to be little SEC ready DT's.

finally read the article (posted earlier on mobile) but a potential top 5 matchup in Eugene, OR (MSU v. Oregon) would be sweet

I know it is frustrating to UGA Fans, but what other program in the country is more underachieving than the Dogs ?


I don't know...but one of the most underachieving teams in the history of college football would probably be the 2012 Auburn Tigers, wouldn't you say?

So UGA was like a Boise State type team that year? Fair enough.


I understand your embarrassment. I mean it took two miracles to make it to the NCG, and then after the SEC had won the game 7 straight years you blew a huge lead to lose your shot at the title. Now you want to say Georgia can't win the big game?

I'm not hating. Everyone needs a little help getting the NC. For UGA, that was having a schedule full of teams with losing records. There's no shame in that.



And you guys needed a whole lot of help getting there last year....but then you blew it, didn't you?

You know the most ironic and painful twist to UGA Fans has to be Auburn winning one BCSNC and playing in two with Georgia products playing QB.


Not really. If Auburn is going to win anything, they will do it with players from Georgia. They can't get enough talent from their own state to win anything, and Georgia has plenty to go around!
So, you're welcome for your wins.
