re: Portal Extravaganza - Blessed and Highly Favor Edwin edition

I'm so pissed that I can't myself to disagree with this. The last three years have ruined me.

3-0 ooc

uga is legit the only auto loss

Bama - they're reeling and I don't see them ever being an Uber team under deboer. Ty is gone and they either have grubb again next year or they're breaking in a new oc.

Arkansas - dub

Florida - if you dont have this as a coin flip at worst you're negging too hard. Brown already beat them with a gaggle of 3 stars. Our guys are worth prob 2 more tds. Dub

LSU - I'll call this an L rn but they went through alot this offseason. Probably means nothing but could mean everything.

Vandy - Diego is gone. They'll prob be solid but if they're starting the true frosh I'm calling a dub

Uga - L

Msu - dub

Ole Miss - they're undoubtedly taking a step back so dub

Tennessee - is Huepel a good coach or not? Was Golesh the secret sauce? What can you point to about UT rn that spells auto loss for us next year? I got nothing. I do think Huepel is a good coach personally and Aguilar is probably coming back next year so their offense could get better but they have plenty of question marks on defense. I'd probably pencil in an L but if we go into the game with a huge delta on defense in our favor, I like our chances.

Dubs
3 ooc
Arky
Ole miss
Msu
UF
7 wins is the absolute floor

Toss ups
LSU
Bama
UT
Vandy
I feel the odds of all of these teams being playoff contenders next year are very low so I gotta think we sneak at least 1 so that puts us at 8 right there

Auto loss
UGA

Absolute floor with Brown is your ceiling. And if Golesh's offense can be as good in the SEC with Brown as it was in the SEC with Hendon Hooker paired with DJ's defense, top 10 o's with top 25 d's typically win alot of games, our ceiling is made of glass.

Some might call it sunshine pumping, I'd call it just looking at things, albeit optimistic, but also objective. The logic is there and it helps paint a pretty clear picture.

You OK doing the Russian roulette at QB again for the next 3 years?

Not sure that’s an accurate assessment of what would happen and yes I would’ve glad to bring Brown in and see what could happen.

I could be sold on most of this take. But it's hard for me to give UF the dub with them getting the coach we thought was our answer. That coach also got his team to the playoffs this year.

This is my issue. I'm sure Brown is good enough to get us at least 7 wins. But I think Deuce gets us at least 6-7 wins too and we have the NIL to keep him here for multiple years. Getting Brown may already be a forgone conclusion. But if we lose Deuce in the process, we're back to QB portal hopping for the next few years.

It's the "and?" that worries me. But from your fingers to God's inbox my guy! I mean we've got to get this thing right sooner or later.

Surely right

If we bring him in, either the defense or he will have to severely underachieve next season for us to only have 7 wins. This were talking 4k yards of production calling the shots next season. Brown is his QB so Im gonna assume he has then sense of a pickle and brings him to Auburn.

I hope Deuce is as good as some of yall say. But I wouldnt bet next season hed have us in a bowl

Nobody scores against UGA. Especially late in the season.

I would love Brown, but I am not counting on him until he takes his first snap. A lot of teams will be looking for portal qb. I would think we have an edge, but I also thought if a guy got AU tattooed on his body we would have an edge as well.

Yes but not many big name teams are looking for a dual threat guy like that. I doubt he would work @ Texas, Bama, UGA etc.
