When has a Bielema line ever finished that low? Don't think it will start now. Especially with Pittman coaching it.
I'd put us around 6-8 right now

OL is one of our lesser worries.
ESPN is right, we won't have a Swanson at center this year, that is our biggest question on the line, but I think it will work out okay.
Skipper and Kirkland are All-SEC material, if not 1st team somewhere in the first 3.

I say hilarious that Auburn is #4, but I have to consider the source.
I agree. I'm not sure how you have AU any lower than #2.

Chris Low is fat.

1-4 can all swap places depending on the person doing the list. I think there is a pretty good drop off in talent after 1-4 as well.

I don't understand that either. We should come in at dead last in the league after losing everyone to the draft. FWIW, you guys gave up sack after sack(or at least it felt that way) to a terrible UT DL last year. If you let us do that, I'd imagine a lot more teams did as well. You've gotta hope they start to gel better moving forward.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think UK should be very high at all, it's just crazy to see a team return 4/5 starters (including a SR OT who has played since a frosh, a JR OT who has played since a frosh, and a rsSO C who was a frosh all-sec pick) would be dead-arse last in the league.
UK's weakness last year was a C/LG area, as Toth was a first year starter playing at 270 lbs after an illness and everyone UK trotted out at LG last year was absolutely awful. Hopefully Toth (at 298) is able to perform better this year and UK can answer the LG question.
I expect the OL to be very improved this year, mainly because 4/5 starters are back.

I don't think Bama's O-line lacks talent. Lacking experience? Probably so. Lacking talent? Not at all. This group is similar to 2009 group. New starter at LT will be the key now as it was then.

4. Auburn: A year ago, Greg Robinson came out of nowhere to be the best offensive lineman in the league and go No. 2 overall in the NFL draft. Avery Young and Shon Coleman are in line to replace Robinson at left tackle, and the other four starters are back. Senior center Reese Dismukes leads a unit that ended last season as the best offensive line in the league and should be right there at the top again in 2014.
Young will either play RT or RG, and Coleman and Pat Miller are battling it out at LT. I'm assuming he meant to put Miller, because Young is one of those 4 returning starters.
I think this list will have us at 1 or 2 postseason.

Arky's OL will be good. Pittman is awesome. Wish we had held onto Skipper too. Do not worry about these preseason lists... they are shite for the most part
