Auburn may have a tough schedule but none of the teams are expected to better this year. Bama, LSU, UGA, A&M, and USCe are all replacing top QBs and some missing players that made a large part of their plays. Auburn is not playing last years teams. So there is no point in trying to compare what Auburn did against last year's teams.
Those teams are also having a lot of experience coming back and some new playmakers. Auburn isn't the only team that can lose some players and still improve.
UGA will be tough. They lost very few playmakers and the game is in UGA.
USCe will always be tough so long as the Visor is on the sideline. Saying that game is losable is nothing against Auburn. USCe could very well win tSEC.
Alabama will improve on the dline and should have better RB play as well with another year of experience and Henry knowing the playbook.
LSU will always be a tough game. The first half was tough for Bama, and their secondary looks to be improved.
None of these are anything against Auburn. You have to admit that those games could easily go either way.

Auburn almost lost to freaking Washington State for crying out loud. I think either Bama or LSU wins the SEC next season.

However, a huge part of why they won last year was the ability to surprise teams who were not ready for their style. I don't think they will sneak up on anyone this year.
You mean that "style" that Saban and Bielema cried about to the media before the season began?
Everybody knew what we were going to do on offense, and they still couldn't stop it. This argument is dumb.

Bert eats the starting offense in game one.

Auburn was three plays away from going 8-4 last year (not even counting the last minute score to beat MSU) and while they are a good team the odds of them replicating what even Auburn fans admit was a once in a lifetime set of events is just exceedingly unlikely.
Auburn was able to overcome some glaring weaknesses to make the title game last year, in large part due to some very fortuitous breaks. The perception is that that will catch up with them in a couple games this year.

What an oddly arbitrary number.

Yeah. Malzahn has figured out the one style of offense that can never be stopped no matter how much time is given. NFL teams couldn't stop that offense ( for the purpose of this post let's just ignore the LSU game. Thanks)

As far as A&M fans penalty claim, no one outside your fanbase believes it should've been a penalty and horse collars don't wad up when grabbed. The fact that its A&M, Bama, and UGA fans that keep bringing up the MSU drive, and not MSU fans, shows that they are just looking for anything to discredit Auburn.

Didn't realize allowing 437 yards was considered stopping an offense.

Why was Auburn getting more yards at the end of the season against the best Defenses than against the sorrier ones before? LSU didn't face the full offense or Marshall running.

Anyone could see that Auburn got better as the season progressed, especially after the LSU game. Yes, Auburn has a horrendous trend of losing to LSU and this one sucked like all the others, but if they were to play at the end of last season it may have been a different game. This years game will be a great one

Look at history. The wishbone wasn't stopped in one season either.
Again, do you believe that Malzahn has discovered some holy grail in offense that can never be stopped by opposing teams?
