Well we have the best set of guards in the SEC no doubt. Braden Smith grades out at 97.8 efficiency against the pass, tops in the SEC, and Alex Kozan was Freshman All-American and had the highest grade of any player in the BCSNCG against FSU by NFL scouts.

Other than Robinson and recruiting stars, what makes you believe Bama has a better OL?

They return 3 starters from the best OL last year which includes probably the best LT in the country. Same number of starters as Auburn and were already a better unit last year. It's not a stretch at all to think they'll be better. Especially since Auburn is replacing both tackles which isn't ideal.

This is honestly the first list I've seen that doesn't have Bama as the top 1 or 2 unit in the SEC. I would tend to question any list that thinks Applachian State has the 3rd best OL in the country.

Consistency. Rarely a bad offensive line under Saban. Going back to his Michigan State days.

Because they return most of the starters who won the Joe Moore Award last year

THIS! How soon we forget 2014. Bama's OL was not the same dominant force it usually is. If people pay attention to football outside of the SEC they'll realize that this is a nice looking list.

That's only because Auburn doesn't have anyone that can throw a pass. Not hard to be good at something you never do.
