Do you see Auburn as a borderline playoff team at this point in the season?

They looked like a team where every remaining game is winnable. A 9-3 season would be impressive.

Probably not. They tend to lose a lot of close games under freeze

Not with a qb who has no internal clock. Arnold was terrible.

That OL needs work.

Special teams needs a lot of work.

Arnold needs to go thru his progressions and then tuck it and run instead of waiting for a singing telegram telling him what to do.

So no, I don't. But they'll finish better than they have the last four years, and they won't be an easy out on anyone's schedule.

He was average yesterday. He still made several plays.

Dude. They gave up 10 sacks. A strong fart could beat their OL and make a sack.

An average qb does not stand there and get sacked ten times. An average qb would learn after 5

Auburn ol played better than a 10 sack game. The vast majority of the sacks were purely on Arnold standing like a confused statue.

Auburn has talent and a great defense. But no contender on god’s green earth is giving up 10 saks. QB and OL bot good enough for playoffs

Alabama or Tennessee or Vandy
Georgia or Ole Miss or Auburn
Texas or Oklahoma
LSU or A&M or Mizzou

That’s my guess.

10 sacks, tons of penalties, missed passes to a 5 star guy heading into the end zone.

We’re not a playoff team. I think we’re a 7-5 team.

No, but we’re a basketball school now, so who cares.

Apparently we didn't watch the same game. The AU OL was literally non-existent 99% of the game. Half the time Arnold didn't have time to set his feet before he was fleeing for his life.

You clearly didn’t watch the same game. Even the tv announcers were pointing out how excessively Arnold was waiting to be sacked.

Don't think so. They are going to have a better record this year, but not going to scratch the playoffs with that many deficiencies.

For sure they are going to notch a big win and ruin someone's season.

They gave up 10 sacks to a Big 12 D, so no.

nope....I see a gritty team that isn't well coached. they'll be a hard out...but they dont have what it takes to make a run.

And if they have any issues on D...they wont even be a hard out. Thats the only thing I think will keep them in games.
