They've got one great player and they've gotten all the bounces. They could have easily lost 4 games this year. On top of that, I think the SEC is down. The east is atrocious, which makes the West's record look better than it really should be.

Not to sound bitter, but Auburn is going to do a nosedive next year.

Our offensive line was playing, and is playing, as one of, if not, the best in the country. We struggled early on but after the coming to jesus meeting that changed. Dyer was slowly introduced, I wish they'd have done more slightly earlier I'd like to see him with a 1k rushing yard freshmen year.

Newton has helped Auburn's offense but it starts up front we physically manhandled LSU in that game.

The SEC win percentage is actually one of the best its ever been, during the BCS era. We have 10 teams bowl eligible that should say something.

Next year Auburn will take a step back but offensively we'll have a fairly solid OLine and a lot of sophomore talent on the defense that will get better as the season goes. I'm guessing an 8 win season but who knows a lot can change between now and then.
