We've been getting a lotf of love lately ever since Jennings got arrested.
What happened to Auburn though? They were getting a lot of attention for months and were supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread. I guess they finally realized that Auburn sucks

Not one person so far has read the link and realized this is a computer model based on stats and other factors, not individual media voters.

Yeah, I read it. I can see why we'd be high on stats alone. As for real-world rankings, I put TAMU somewhere between 18 and 22 right now.

I read it. One thing I find interesting is that it gives Georgia, LSU and Tennessee all a better chance of winning the SEC then Alabama.

Conf Win% - Probability to win conference

1. Georgia 25.5%
2. LSU 14.4
3. Tennessee 13.4
4. Alabama 12.9
5a. Ole Miss 10.2
5b. Texas A&M 10.2
7. Arkansas 5.6
8. Auburn 2.7
9. Missouri 2.2
10. Florida 2.1
11a. MSU 0.4
11b. South Carolina 0.4
13. Kentucky 0.2
14. Vanderbilt 0.1

I was going to say the same thing. Blows my mind how people don't realize that at all. I believe SOS is a part of these computer rankings as well so natuarally SEC teams are going to be ranked higher.

Team is loaded with talent. Check the last few recruiting classes. LSU is starting to stack talent like they did previous to 2011

Kid is majoring in aerospace engineering and is brilliant. Maybe you'd be wise to get a clue instead of poking fun at him. I took a que and shaved my eyebrows off last week. The results so far have been amazing. When I ride with the windows done I can really feel a difference in my face-drag. Can't wait to take my face out on the interstate to see what it can really do.

I like you dude but I wish you would quit acting like your fan base are victims here with your sarcasm. Everyone has just called out a couple of vol trolls. Doesn't mean we don't want meaningful banter with you guys. I guess my opinion here will lead to a verbal attack but that's okay. Cheers.

I take those remarks as him in his own way expressing disapproval of Phil & Serraneaux's trolling without calling them out.

I could be wrong though...

Arkansas is way to high. They have Arkansas with the 10th best offense and last year they were around 54th. That's a hell of a jump. A&M , Ole Miss and LSU seem to high , they all have the talent/experience to be top 10 but also got big questions.

So what would be the reasons a few of the sites are selling on Auburn now? It seemed in the early spring that they were trending top 10, and for some even top 5.



It's pretty weird, especially with them having LSU, UGA, Bama, Tenn and Arky all ranked ahead of us offensively? WTF?

That many teams [especially from the SECW] in the top ten is a bit much.

Flip Mizzou & UF and I think you have it right.

Every SEC team they have in the top 15 is too high.

AU is too low.

I think the top of the SEC is interchangeable in rankings like this, it's just for amusement, nobody serious gets worked up about it.

But I don't understand how AU's defensive ranking is higher than it's offense ranking? Am I reading this wrong?
