I would favor Clemson because of the massive edge at QB.

I wouldn't be too confident about it though. It's still Clemson, their defense will probably be shitty, and Van Gorder may make some quick improvements to a defense which on paper should be at least a little better next year even if they had kept Roof.

Our lack of defense made the biggest difference in that game. If they show up, who knows?...But I agree about us having more unknowns which will mean more ppl picking against us.

Right now, Clemson.

Sammy Watkins, Ellington, Boyd all coming back.

Just depends on who their new DC will be.

Auburn's defense and QB is still questionable.

If Kiehl can become a proficient passer, and if this new DC can improve the Auburn defense, then Auburn will do well next year.

If they have to rely on Trotter.......

Yup.

AU returns everyone at defense. Has a hell of a lot better coordinator. And clempson scores more than they did last year at home.

They finished off this season on a high point too.

Solid pick.

sorry joeybh to hurt your feelings but the fact is au,s defense was terrible last year, just because you have players coming back doesn't = better with the same bad players , plus you have no idea if bvg will make that much of improvement in the first game / first year running his system. meanwhile clemp should be improved on offensive that dominated the same players at au.

on offense au will slide without Gus, dyer and without an qb with talent/experience.

sorry but I expect au to not be much improved record wise.

Until auburn gets any type of decent QB play, I can't see them winning a game like this. They refused to let Frasier throw downfield. There has to be a reason why.

Clemson - 31
Auburn-23

Because when we let him, he throws it to the other team.

Still arrogant and ignorant enough to think anyone regards your biased opinions high enough so as to "hurt feelings"

Here is joey's response to your prediction

Seems rational to me. Then you jumped onto the you mad, I hurt your feelings posting mode. Sounds like you are an emotional one incapable of discussion, or really just here to flame. Oh it's space guy so yes it is a flame.
