If Auburn beats UW, will they be undefeated going to Athens?

The schedule shapes up ok until then. Toughest game would be MSU on the road, which AU should win on paper as of now.
The fact that AU plays UGA and Bama on the road have always tempered my expectations for this year, but if they can get to Athens with 1 loss or less, all bets are off. We know Saban can't beat a good AU team, so it really hinges on UGA

Y’all will beat UW and y’all should be undefeated when the DSOR rolls around.

Not sure it means much one way or another. Gus has proven he can derp up an early game, turn it around, and derp it up again later.

well i'd probably agree, it may not make or break the season, but it matters for my scenario

I mean, in theory it looks very possible, but you have to remember the total WTF games Malzahn has every season. I agree that MSU in Starkville looks to be the real test between those games, but LSU is never a given and always a tough out. Then the possibility of a classic Gus derpfest against UT gives me pause as well.
Basically what I'm trying to say isMalzahn has taken any sort of predictability with this team and thrown it right the frick out the window since taking over. He has points where they look to be the best team in the country for a month, then will throw in a couple games that make you wonder what the hell they've been doing in preparation for the game.
ETA: To answer your question, no. IMO,we drop one of MSU or LSU.

If you can't beat UW, should it matter? UW is the best going into the season for the PAC12 but that being said, not such a great team.

we've certainly never seen a team perform better late in a season....

they return a top 15 defense, a top 3-5 QB, and are preseason ranked like 6 or something right? I'd say they're ok
edit: ranked as high as 4 in some polls

Well congrats on a big win I guess.
Seriously, I will be rooting for you guys in that one. I hate the PAC12.

Auburn will not beat UW
It's a buzz-saw of a game for the tiggers

Hell of an analysis.

You're not concerned about A&M at all? They're undefeated at Jordan-Hare.

You say that as if it has any impact at all on the game this year.

What does UW have coming back? I never count out a Petersen team.
Posted on 7/25/18 at 12:04 pm to ibldprplgld
they return all 5 starters in the secondary, as well as a couple good LB's that form a good unit
Then obviously Browning at QB and their stud RB Myles Gaskin

New coaches, players etc. There was a time when UGA struggled to beat Auburn in Athens and vice versa. Things change...
That being said, I'm concerned about every SEC game.

Yeah, I'm not saying it has any relevance to the outcome of this year's game. It's just an odd trend - the visitor winning every game since the start of the conference series.

Really? Even as a kid you were tempering your expectations for the 2018 football season?
Impressive.

vs LSU, @ MSU, @ Ole Miss, Texas A&M will all be varying degrees of challenging

I think he is one of the best coaches in the nation. Always has his teams prepared and plays to their strengths.
