Using GM from bama isn't a fair comparison. the level of talent surrounding him is higher than what Auburn has currently.

The talent of bama's opponents was proportionally less as well. That 2008 bama team had 16 eventual draft picks on it, of which 13 were drafted in the first 3 rounds. When has any SEC team not named Florida had a team with that much talent on it in the last 20 years?

I think you are a little confused, because that team had a ridiculous amount of experience + talent
Tigerman already pointed out the eventual drafted talent, but the experience on that team was 2010 Auburn level
18/22 starters were upperclassmen JR/SR on that '08 team with the 4 non upperclassmen all being future RD1 draft picks
-10/11 starters on offense were JR/SR with the 11th being Julio Jones as a FR (900+ YDs)
-8/11 starters on defense were JR/SR with the 9th/10th/11th being future RD1 Rolando McClain/Donta Hightower/Kareem Jackson
