re: Predit Auburn's season

Auburn could win them all or lose 4, neither would suprise me.

First off, injuries can kill a promising season(i.e. georgia and florida). Lawson's injury (if season-ending) will definitely hurt and Auburn doesn't have the depth in defense to lose any key players.

Second, team chemistry. Obviously we had it last year. Can we duplicate that?

Third, schedule. The climb to the top this year will be tough. MSU at starkvegas - After an emotional LSU game, especially if we win, that MSU game could be tough. Same thing sets up with USCe and OM. We end it with GA and bama away. We used to play tough in Stanford and Bryant Denny. This will be Gus's first trip as head coach to both, so looking back at last year, we shite-the-bed at LSU away and pulled one out at A&M away. I could see winning both/splitting games/or losing both, really I have no idea.

I think the SEC is difficult to predict this season.

Just a wild-arse-guess. I'll say 11-1. Could be Merlin's signature win that he's be waiting for.
