quote:
They finished 5th this year. The gap between 10-8 and 12-6 isn't that wide
They played 7 games against SEC seeds #11-14, next most games against that group is Ole Miss with 6
Plus their D and rebounding, their strengths, will take a massive hit by losing both C Jimmie Taylor and C Bola Olaniyan. Those guys suck on offense, but they are a huge reason teams don't score inside. Donta Hall can't do it alone for 40 minutes
If Bama wins 10+ games next year, it won't be due to their defense but outscoring oeople with their freshmen 5*s

Plus their perimeter defense should only improve with the addition of Sexton.
Their defense will still be Top 25 imo. It's silly to think that they're suddenly going to be bad defensively

All of Auburn's conference wins come against the bottom three teams of the SEC and Bama. It doesn't make sense for you to act like Bama sucks by criticizing our schedule and say Auburn is going to make a great leap when the only reason our schedule is worse is because Auburn finished 11th opposed to our 5th.
I don't think we finish 3rd next year, but I don't think it's that ridiculous either after adding the 5th best class in the country to an already average group. Other than Kentucky being at or near the top and LSU and Mizzou being at or near the bottom, the conference standings are hard to predict for next season.
