My point is why are you putting so much stock in their preseason ranking.
Says the guy who's thread is based on the premise that the addition of a WR = championship game.

as it better than Auburn's? If it was not, then a lesser front 7 can beat a superior front 7, can't it?
Auburn's was better and will be again this year. But in that second game in Atlanta we had 3 stars on defense have to leave the game - Tre Williams - LB, Marlon Davidson - DE, and Carlton Davis - CB.
It wasn't the same Auburn team.
Combine that with the fact that Kerryon was maybe 25-30%, and it was a long shot to win that game.
Georgia won 28-7 the second time around and Auburn won 41-17 in the first game. Do you really think the 45 point swing had nothing to do with injuries? Come on.

that said- Did Auburn beat a decimated Alabama?
Bama was beat up, no doubt about it.
They were beat up worse in the National Title game, though. Tua saved them.

Not totally out of the question but a lot of things have to go right for any NC team. But some fans take it as a given.
Then they are trolling. Most thing 11-1 at best and 10-2. Check out WG's preseason prediction thread and you will see what I am saying.

Show me where somebody said it, and I will be glad to. But I am not going to put a whole lot of time looking for something I find difficult to believe exists.

Two of those will not be on your team this year.

Before the game started we were assured by Auburn fans that:
1. Kerryon was 90-95% healthy
2. The game would be decided in the trenches and we could not fix our trenches in 3 weeks.

The it was your coaches fault for not playing your other running backs. When Michel went out we put Swift in there. Auburn simply has to get more depth at RB. You got one last year and I think he will be good, but you seem to be missing on some major targets again this year.

No. I think intensity, a new game plan and some other factors played into it as well. Do you think one injury to a RB caused the 45 point swing? No doubt injuries played a part. but you can't lay it all on the injuries, either. I honestly believe if the injuries had not occured we still would have won. It was a completely different ball game. I have watched it 4 times since it was played, and you can tell a big difference.
And lets not pretend dropped passes and ill timed fumbles did not play a huge part in the first game. Auburn was not 23 points better than Georgia last year....and Georgia was not 21 points better than Auburn last year.

No, no that's not how this works. Remember the 2nd time we played you last year? Not to mention each season is different so you have no idea.

I agree, he will be missed. he was a space eater, no doubt.

Every team in the country has betting odds on Vegas.

I agree. I don't think we do, either. i think we are too young and inexperienced. However, I didn't think we had the team last year, either. We came really, really close , though. A lot of people would argue we should have won that game.
quote:
You'll see pretty quickly that teams will now circle you on the schedule after having a year of major success like last year and a lot of games will end up being closer than expected.
I think we will have closer games, but I also thin it is because we will have a younger more inexperienced team. Let's face it. our schedule is bad. I mean, really, really bad. That gives us a leg up already.
quote:
Auburn has a small chance (Tua getting injured).
I think Tua will be a great QB for Alabama. but I am going to wait until mid season to crown him as a world beater. I also think most Alabama fans would agree with this. He looks awfully good, though.

Tua, in his first start ever, outscored Georgia 26-10 in a half. If he gets to play an entire game, it'll get ugly
I bet you’re a lifetime subscriber of the transitive property as it relates to sports, aren’t you?

He's just another Auburn fan that hates Georgia so much all reason flies out of the window.

Bama will have Tua all game. Unless Georgia scores 40 plus, Bama blows out Georgia.

Do you really think if Kerryon is healthy you win that game? We rushed for 238 and put up 400+ total yards.
Perhaps we have coaches that know what the frick they’re doing? We took our your short WR screen game really early and after that, you had trouble moving the ball much at all. An injury to a running back shouldn’t limit your coach’s ability to call a successful game plan.

I doubt either team gets blown out, and I also doubt Georgia scores 40 on Alabama.

Pardon my ignorance- but who is going to stop UGA's offense.
You (Alabama) couldn't stop their offense last year.

Here’s where we disagree, DL.
We absolutely do have the talent on the roster to win it this year. It will take some pretty big breaks, bigger than a usual NC gets. That said, our schedule allows for our inexperienced guys to get tons of good experience before our toughest games. Game 13 for a freshman/new starter is dramatically different than game 1.
Posted on 8/11/18 at 11:37 am to CFBFAN2018
And last year it was suppose to be Bama vs UF.

I hope you are right. We definitely have the talent. And the experience level will go up. I'm just not sold that we will have the talent and experience level to compete with Alabama or Clemson this year. I mean, anything can happen, and with a break here and there (Almost ever National Championship teams gets them) we could win it. Not saying we have no chance...just saying I don't think we can win it.
Again. I hope I am wrong and you are right.

I am not goign to say top to bottom the SEC is the best conference, but I would be hard pressed to find a conference with 4 teams that could match up with Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Georgia. LSU is a bit of a shot in the dark, and depends on Burrow being as good as they hope.

There’s a huge difference replacing 5 star athletes with 5 star talent vs just replacing him with next man up. LB is UGA’s deepest unit imo.
