You mean a good thing for Auburn. Speaking of, how are the compared to LSU, TU, and UK?

Bit of a rebuilding year, but we still have some solid pieces from last year and will have 5 SRs. But other than the 5 SRs it's mostly guys with no experience.

We'll be better off than Tenn (that's UT, not TU btw) at least. I expect a borderline top 25 team, maybe a bubble team at worst.

2020 recruiting class is shaping up to be huge, likely top 5. 2021 is already looking to be loaded with top end talent as well, so after this season we'll be on cruise control and won't be going anywhere until Pearl retires. Almost weird to call this upcoming season a rebuilding year though because before Pearl and these last couple of seasons it would've been one of our top 5 teams since the 80s
