The last 4 years, the Iron Bowl winner has gone on to win the national championship, and it'll probably happen again this year. With Auburn bringing back Malzahn and Alabama keeping Saban, this could be the case next year as well. I know the Iron Bowl has always been intense, but it's reached a new level and tickets to next years game will be insane $$$$$

I'm interested to see how auburn plays with a target on their back. The season this year will be tough to duplicate in 2014

It could be the case for many years to come. Auburn/Alabama vs. the field.

Hopefully we will not need the duplication.

We get LSU and Texas A&M at home. We go to Georgia, but Georgia will be without Aaron Murray.

We should have a more dynamic passing game and a much better defense next year.

I would be surprised if the Iron Bowl doesn't decide the West.

Agreed. My guess is the way to "slow down" that offense is to beat the shite out the QB and ball carriers on every play, period. It's what broke the RG3s and Colin Kaepernick's in the NFL. So I'm guessing SEC DC's will be bringing the beatdowns in 2014.

Our schedule is nicer next year, and Alabama will have more question marks. However, it wouldn't surprise me if one team or both have just enough loses to not be in the contention. Looking forward to next season though.

No shite it'll be tough to duplicate... how many programs have been to back to back national championship games?... late 90s FSU... Early 2000s Miami.... and bama.... some of the greatest teams of the modern era.

Forgot 06 and 07 Ohio State.

In his defense, it certainly couldn't be any less dynamic.

So you think a full off season learning more of the play book and working with the wide receivers will not result in Marshall being a more dynamic passer?

He was pretty decent this year and should get better next year.
