re: Why no love for Auburn in preseason polls?

Surely you can concede that Auburn isn't your typical case of this though:

2009: 7-5
2010: Acquire a 1-and-done of the best college football player ever, 14-0
2011: Lose said player, 7-5

What did Mocha Cam show last year that makes you 100% confident in that?

He was a true frosh playing in the toughest division in football. Is this a serious question?

This thread is about the 2012 season, not the 2011 season. And "riding on the wave of the championship" typically happens the year after you actually win a National Championship...

Did you actually read the initial post?

Finished 25 in the BCS after killing UVA in their bowl game, upgraded tremendously at defensive coordinator, return a lot of talent on a team two years removed from a National Championship.. I don't get it with some of the teams ranked above them..

It appears that he was suggesting that one of the reasons he feels that they are being overlooked in the preseason poll is because of how they finished last year in the polls.

So that was what I was addressing. My point still stands.

Auburn shouldn't have been in the top 25 all year last year. It was a joke each week that they were even ranked. They were riding on the wave of their national championship.

And btw...last year was the year after they won a NC, so your argument is invalid.
