I agree with Vegas. 7-5. I originally thought aTm would beat AU but I have changed my mind. For AU to win 9 games, they would need to win all their easy games, plus MSU and aTm which are not a given by any means, then win 2 games from the murders row of Clemson, LSU, Arkansas, UGA, and Bama. All 5 of those teams are likely preseason top 10. I don't see that happening.

Clemson=W
MSU=Win
ULM=W
LSU=Loss
Arky=Win
Ole Miss=Win
TAMU=Win
New Mexico St=W
UGA=Loss
Alabama A&M=W
Bama=Closer than people think......but loss
My objective take on Gene is this: His first season, they improved, second season they won a title and then won 8 games with a TON of youth starting. This is the year where I think we will have a true barometer of his coaching ability.
Side Note: Everyone says that he won a national title simply because he had Cam Newton, but in my mind thats irrelevant, and if it has any relevence it actually shows that he is a great coach. Does it make him less of a "coaching genius" simply because he has one really exceptional player, and wins a title? Alabama had what may be the greatest college defense of all time, and arguably the best running back since Adrian Peterson, a ton of upper classmen starting, and lost to LSU, but still won a title. I guess I have a hard time understanding how winning with less over-all talent makes him any less of a coach than the other title winning coaches in the conference. That being said...

A BCS title at a school like AU would buy him at least another year, even if he went 6-6.

AU played 6 teams last year that finished with great records. Clemson, Arkansas, LSU, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. AU went 1-5 against those teams.

Don't let facts get in the way of another AU bashing thread on the rant.
Plus, you are right it is 3-0.

good point... We beat the teams on our level last year -- MSU, UF... beat one team better than us -- USC... and lost the rest handily -- CU, Ark, LSU, Bama.
We'll be more talented, more experienced, better coached, and have an easier schedule... I think it could mean anywhere from 8 wins to 10.

Clemson is even bigger for Auburn than some think. A win here and it really gets things rolling with positive momentum. I think they may win 10.
