I just don't think it's that unreasonable in this league.
UGA lost to Georgia Tech and Davidson last season and finished 3rd in the league. There are a lot of teams in this league who no show 4-5 times a year in league play.
Auburn has second tier talent level in the league and the best coach in that tier. Just don't think it's that unreasonable for them to jump up to 4th or 5th.
ETA: I'm not saying I think it will happen, just that it's not that unreasonable

Our team should be much better this year in the non-conference. We were .500 until we got to the SEC where our players looked like they actually knew how to play basketball. I think we would have been a bubble team if we didn't have those miserable losses at Auburn and to Vandy at home.
This year we return every quality player other than Donte Williams who averaged about 5 points and 5 boards per game. If Mann can cut down on his turnovers he can be really good and Kenny Gaines is an absolute stud. I think the league will be better in general though so I would expect a similar SEC record of 12-6. Hopefully that along with a solid non-conference will be enough to get us around a 10 or 11 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Just watched Detrick Mostella play at the RTL. Reminds me of a more athletic Jordan McRae. Can score/finish from anywhere.
I don't see any way he doesn't start for us assuming he's cleared.
More impressive coming in than Hopson, McRae, Hubbs, etc. were at the RTL.
ETA: He is a couple inches smaller than McRae too. But he is an absolute scoring machine. Ty Lawson, Mike Beasley, Chris Lofton, Tobias Harris, Nolan Smith and some guys like that are supposed to play in the RTL a week from Monday. Will be interested to see how he fares against those guys.
