We made a run at Kirby Smart again, but Saban wouldn't let him leave.

When Florida fired Muschamp, the choice was obvious.

AU will have the best chance of taking the west next year due to returning their QB and pretty much every offensive starter (It has been forever since I could say that). Key loss is Jake Holland on defense!! Alabama and LSU will both be in the same boat breaking in a new QB, but the defense of both should keep them in the race.

Well I am still laughing at Kiehl Frazier is an elite athlete and will finish his career as an Auburn Tiger legend. Period.

Yeah, I honestly don't know what is funny. AU has arguably the best oline in the SEC, and they all return. The dline is showing they're going to be a force with the young talent.

AU will control the LOS next year, point blank.

Record will or could be worse next year. Away games at Bama and UGA 2Ls. both MS schools will be better an those are away games (split those)

Plus LSU and TAMU are L's until you beat them plus the @ KSTate game will be a toss up. 4-6 games that are distinct possibilities for L's.

Then again Au could shock the SEC and win it all, but realistically 8-4 again.

Nice thread, bro.

Hell would freeze over, they would need to beat LSU, Bama and TAMU. Good luck.

Add in whoever is in SEC Championship game.

I almost forgot the BS playoff system next year. Is Aubbie paying off Condi Rice already?

That's seriously doubtful returning the QB and entire O-line. Couple that with the Dline next year and A&M, UA, and LSU breaking in new QBs, it's not unrealistic to at least have AU in the conversation for the West.

Possible but I just think y'all are still 2+ years away from being a true contender for the west. Hey it could happen and for the reasons you listed. Just think the schedule is too hard for Au.

Auburn had 24 seniors in 2010

Auburn will have 25 seniors in 2014 if everybody comes back, with Tre Mason being the only real threat to forego.

Yeah, because Bama and A&M aren't breaking in new QBs or anything. A&M is going to have a tough first season without Manziel

Bama, LSU, and A&M's offenses will all be worse. Bama is losing AJ and their OLine will take another step backwards and they lose their best player on Defense. LSU is losing pretty much their entire offense and with A&M losing JFF they are too. The only team Auburn plays that will be better than this year is likely Arkansas. UGA may be better on Defense but they are losing AM on offense.

They will have an easier schedule with a better team. The record should be better than this year. While they won't win a NC next year, its not likely any SEC team will.
