Auburn? They lost a ton of experience on both LOS plus the secondary.They lost a total of about 12 Sr starters (how the hell they pull that off is another story)

And they recruit very well. I mean, they did lose a ton. but they have a lot of players coming back that are good, too. their DLine, I think will be weaker, although they return Truesdell, Bryant and Miller, so i don't think the dropoff will be as great as some believe....a dropoff? Yes. A STEEP dropoff? no.
But I actually think their RB unit will be better. I was not a Whitlow fan, and DJ Williams will be an upgrade, imo. Tehy have recruited at WR very well.

For Auburn I think the key is going to be how much Nix progresses. They have really, really good LBs returning and their secondary will be solid, if not spectacular. Are we better? i think so. I do believe we win the game, but I do not believe it will be a cake walk.

UT did seem to improve over the course of the season... obviously no where to but up after losing to GSU.They still weren't impressive vs Indiana.

And this is a great point, too. I mean they are a bit more difficult to read. tehy have a lot of talent at key positions.....but their "improvement" came against weaker opponents, so they are harder to gauge. Their Oline is great, though....or should be. Not having Cade Mays will hurt them, but they have two 5* OTs that will be sophomores. Pruitt is a defensive mind and will have the defense going well, imo. But their QB is a question mark and I'm not real sure what they have at WR.

Hey...you guys might be right. I am just going by what I think.
