Mizzou way too High, every year they're top 10 in preseason and never can win any games.

Auburn feels like the easiest answer - finished the past season with 5 losses, yet ranked in the top 3/5 in most polls so far. I'm guessing that people expect Muschamp to work a minor miracle in correcting multiple years of poor defensive techniques in a single off season.


Defensive technique is not all of AU's problem. The offensive style gives the opponents more opportunities. Even if you go 3 and out you still get twice as much opportunity as playing Arkansas. We don't win the IB last year without those extra series. AU is up by what 13 in the 3rd and lose by a couple scores? This is why Oregon falls short year after year.

Pat Dye explained it once. Somebody said if you took Bowdens offense and your defense AU would be unstoppable. Dye said it doesnt work that way. I keep the ball away from the other team with long 8 minute drives and keep my defense fresh.
Auburn will continue to struggle defensively running 105 plays a game. I don't care if Bill Parcells is the DC.

They were all true freshman last year, and I thought, given their experience, that they performed admirably.

Pretty much the entirety of the West with the exception of Alabama who seems to have a reasonable expectation so far this offseason.

I don't know which team is most overrated, but I can tell you which team is most underrated - LSU. Mark my words - LSU will be a serious contender to win it all in 2015.

Bammer- could have easily lost 4 games last year and their offense will be worse

Georgia- not a question of if they will choke. Just exactly when it will take place per usual

Arkansas- coach is 2-14 in conference
