No troll here. Seriously, I thought they were going to be really good next year, but with all these players leaving it might be tough.


If Stidham is back, they should still compete for the West. Their schedule appears to get noticeably easier.

Instead of Clemson, they play Washington in ATL... which should be a virtual home game.

Instead of Missouri in Columbia, they get Tennessee at home.

But the real gain for them is that the entire SEC West could see a slight to moderate drop-off. Bama will still be the best team, but they appear to be losing quite a bit. LSU should probably be worse off next year. Ole Miss and Arky will both struggle. I don't know much about State... they should be decent. Texas A&M will have a new coach.

The West... other than Bama... looks completely up for grabs in the 2-5 spots.

Eh, I disagree. Don't forget Washington was a playoff team last year and I think they are pumped about playing this game in Atlanta. For Auburn fans, it's 3 in a row at Mercedes-Benz.
Considering what we did to Missouri and UT having a coach with a pulse, that's a wash at the very least. Then add the 2 road games at the end of the season and I'd say we are not better off in 2018.
