They have a cycle that is as consistent as LSU's 4 year cycle starting in 2006. It goes

Great year
OK year
shite the bed year
(Recovery year, if necessary)

2006 - Great year, would have been SECW champs if not for Arkansas' once-a-quarter-century year.
2007 - OK year, Iron Bowl win (6 in a row)
2008 - shite the bed, Iron Bowl blowout, coach "resigned"
2009 - Recovery Year, new coach

2010 - National championship
2011 - OK year, lost iron bowl but it was a GOAT Bama team
2012 - shite the bed, Iron Bowl blowout, coach fired

2013 - Worst to first, Kick six
2014 - OK year, lost iron bowl in shootout
2015 - ???

2015 is following the pattern so far. The only question at this point is if Malzahn breaks the coaching pattern and if the Iron Bowl breaks the pattern.

Preseason hype. Picked to win west by a ton of media outlets.

If we don't win another game this year, Malzahn still doesn't get fired. We will give him time to get it together, hopefully.

They were picked to win the West and have a Heisman candidate QB.

What actually happened? Their heisman QB was benched 3 games in and Auburn is facing a 1-7 SEC record this year.

AU got too much preseason love but nobody would've guessed our QB situation was going to be THAT bad if they'd watched JJ play last year.

That and key injuries have cost them. They're getting better and I wouldn't be surprised to see them win against any SEC team... But It wouldn't surprise me to see them get stomped either.

It's just one of those years.

Because Auburn fans were saying 2015 would be their next great year, using similar logic, and apparently many in the media took their word for it.
