don't get why Auburn is Tier 2 . . .

They have the same coach (8-5, 7-6, & 8-5 the last three years), an inexperienced QB, and the same defense (28th nationally).

Return 9/11 starters on defense that improved by leaps and bounds over the prior year.

Return 7/11 starters on offense. Would be 9/11 but two of last year's starters have been replaced by players the coaches think are better.

This is along with having one of if not the best special teams units in the country.

I'm not ready to crown Auburn yet but to think this will be a run of the mill 8-4 team is asinine.

I tend to agree with you here but it seems like every time auburn gets a lot of preseason hype they fall on their face. I'm not ready to crown Stidham as the man yet either. There's a big difference between playing Big 12 defenses every week and playing the Bama's and LSU's of the world.

We'll see but I'm gonna temper my expectations on auburn until I see them win a big game early on
