Who wouldn't hype an 8-5 team that sucked down the stretch in 2014?

The media knows that controversy sells.
Auburn is controversial because they are not Bama.
When the meida picks Auburn they know they will stir up Bama fans as well as fans outside to the SEC because it isn't the usual pick.

or...we might just be good.

You know...the less conspiratorial explanation.

It's not like they're picking arky and lsu to be miserable...and we beat the shite out of those teams last year.

picks can go in trends and Auburn was very trendy

will Auburn be good? fricked if I know

there's question marks across the board and preseason previews are hit or miss

no one was picking them to win the league in 2013 and everyone thought they were a favorite in 2014

throwing darts at the wall is as good a way to pick the preseason as any
