Wouldn't surprise me if y'all lose to Arkansas and beat Penn State.

4-8

Could be a rough year in the Plains

Under. 6 wins max.
Starting QB, RB, OL and most of the D returning following a 6-4 SEC record last year. I can see why you are an idiot among idiots within the Cult.

We'll see.
Wins: Akron, Alabama St, GA State, USCe
Losses: @LSU, UGA, Bama, aTm
Likely losses: Ole Miss (CLK and Corral will have that O in high gear in yr 2; will be a shootout/tough out for most)
@PSU: will bring back a good offense with ?s in front 7 on D. But, advantage PSU with an early season game at night at Beaver Stadium
Toss up: Arkansas and MSU.
So, 4 almost sure wins, 4 almost sure wins.
I just don't see AU winning Ole Miss, PSU, MSU AND Arkansas to win 8. I also think they may win 1 or 2 of these; however, losing those 4 games seems easier than winning those 4 to get to 8, which is why I stated what I stated.
Like I said, I think it's a 5-7 win year for AU.

7-5 (4-4) feels about right. If they win a bowl game and go 8-5 that's probably a pretty solid start for Harsin, especially if they are playing well at the end of the year and play Alabama tough.
Definite Wins: Akron, Alabama State, Georgia State (3)
Probable Wins: Miss St, @ South Carolina (2)
Toss Ups: @ Arkansas, Ole Miss (2)
Probable Losses: @ Penn State, @ LSU, Georgia, @ Texas A&M, Alabama (5)
If LSU was in Auburn I'd make it a toss up. If UGA and Alabama were in Athens or Tuscaloosa I'd make it a definite loss, but I'll never make an Alabama trip to Auburn a definite win before the season.

Not really responding to him, it is the company he keeps (read the other posts).

Why would we be worse after excising the tumor that’s been growing the last few years? The only reason the Arkansas or Ole Miss games were close last year was because of the anemic arse offense that hasn’t adapted in 7 years?
Auburn has never had a new coach come in and do worse than the last one in the first year. Why would this be the one?

6-4 in the SEC last year with Gus and Morris calling plays. Nix is the 2nd most experience QB coming back after back to back 2000 yards seasons under Gus. Tank is arguably the best RB in the SEC and the OL returns in tact. The D will be more experienced and the entire team is physically changed with a much better S&C Program. Either Gus overachieved with this team the last two years or the staff kept tripping over themselves. Seven will be a major underachievement based on the personnel returning.

6-6 (3-5)
Under feels like a push is worst case scenario but that’s also based on little to nothing. Mainly new HC and average play last season, square type stuff.

The years Auburn has to go to LSU/A&M and gets Alabama/Georgia at home are great if they are really good (2013, 2017) but they are tough in years when they are good but not really good, because you have 2 home games that are probably losses and then 2 games that would be toss ups at home are tough road games. One of them in a play Auburn hasn't won in 20 years.
Of the 6 wins last year they play 4 of those teams this year. They play all 4 of the losses this year and swap LSU at home for LSU on the road.
I dunno, it wouldn't shock me if they went 8-4 (5-3) I guess.

I don't disagree on Gus.
But, I think it is an 8 win cap based on the schedule. Ole Miss and PSU will be tough outs. I don't think AU wins both, and likely loses both. That's a 6 win season.
And, MSU/Arky have good coaching and play hard. Both are in year 2 under their new coaches and "should" be improved. They could easily knock AU off on any given Saturday.
So, 5-7 wins.
I'm wrong often though. Just my thought on the topic.

College Stats again, and then throw in history. You always quote history but never look at the reality of the current year. A&M is coming off a good year, but it was a covid year. They won a lot of games late in the season when most team had packed in the season at midyear. They also rode the back of Mond. LSU was a shell of themselves due to covid, but they still had major problems QB. That problem has not been solved. This is the first time in history that AU is playing UGA at home in early October. By November. AU has run the gauntlet of the SECW when they normally play. It has cost AU over the year more than UGA due to the competition. And Bama will be breaking in a new team. Again, AU has one of the most experienced teams coming back and were 6-4 last year with a dysfunctional coaching staff.

I think 8 is the ceiling as well. Just feel like way too much talent still there to go under .500 with a somewhat competent coach, which Harsin appears to be (regardless of whether one thinks he will be able to recruit in the SE).

So how do you think Auburn does

Has the potential to be a 9+ win team next year. First line injuries will play a factor. The schedule sets up well for a first year coach, even with the unknown potential of PSU in week 3. Nix will be the key. You could tell after the UK game last year that Morris didn't have time to change what Gus developed the previous year. Morris was the scapegoat to a poor Offensive System with limited development by Gus and his Staff. The biggest change for AU will be S&C, which has suffered under Gus since 2015.
