You are the first person to say this. My cousin being the biggest Bama Homer I know even admits to a 9 win season next year for us

He was just being nice during the Holliday Season.

This is premature,but.....

With a new QB who thinks AUBURN can make a run to the SECCG next year?

We should have a senior laden O-line,an experienced Defense,and someone who can catch and run with a punt.

Does CGC have a sophomore slump?

This is much to ask from CGC,but I believe AUBURN can finish

10-2 and if lady luck is on our side 11-1

Is this some kind of joke? 8-4 is the best Auburn does next season.

Who doesn't hate Auburn?

I have a lot of respect for Auburns new program, but you do realize Auburn was blown out in tiger stadium? It would take a lot of ifs to change that.

LSU came to play in that game after a bye week and Auburn's offense was sputtering in the passing game.

LSU overpersued heavily in that game on Auburn's reverses and fakes but Todd failed to hit several wide open bubble screens where the guy was open for 10 yards. Had Todd hit those early on and burned LSU for a TD you'd have seen LSU go much less aggressive in its defensive game plan similar to UT. The coaching staff checked on Todd's arm throughout the season and had him miss practice at times throughout the season so there were issues with that no matter what was said in interviews.

I'm not saying Auburn will win the west or beat specific teams but I see no one on Auburn's schedule they "can't" beat.

09/04/10 vs. Arkansas State W
09/11/10 at Mississippi State # W
09/18/10 vs. Clemson L
09/25/10 vs. South Carolina # W

name the top program in the west next year. Bama loses most of its key defensive players nearly 20 total are leaving even with talent that is a lot of experience. It is returning all the key players on its offense though. LSU losing top RB, LT, linebackers, 2 DL guys, safety, a corner and so on. Again experience is lost don't care about talent behind. Offense was worse than 2008 in nearly every category. Arkansas best offense in the SEC bar none, worst defense in the SEC bar none. Mallet returns offense stays hot but their season depends on the defense. Auburn offense was solid but not earth shattering. Todd was a game manager and outside of the UT and OM game was not a clutch player and was horribly inconsistent. Defense ended the season being better than the 2007 defense in every statistical category and is adding massive talent and depth. The starters will be talented and we won't lean upon the new guys they'll be resting the seniors in key games, defense should be top 35 offense should improve due to more consistency. Ole Miss losing several guys on defense still talented but I think Nutt blew his one big year here. He helped the passing game regress to the point it cost them a possible big season, Nutt will go back to being Nutt.

---

Actually. LSU is more talented next year since they'll RS most of the defensive players (look up 2008 Recruting Class).

I think Auburn has won 5 straight against UT and 2 straight against UF.... ( just sayin')

I think UT will have a chance to win the East next season. So you're saying yall would will against UF this year? (just saying)

We didnt RS these players yet
