Why the outrage? Its a prediction. A sleeper pick in the west would be down to a&m, auburn or arkansas. Can you really say any of the 3 picks are outrageous over the other?


Exactly. If you're trying to pick a "sleeper," from the West, Auburn seems like the best choice. If we had a proven gamer at QB, we'd be up there as far as chances to win the West.

I'm pretty sure Herby picked AU to win the whole thing in 2010. Everyone thought he was crazy. I remember him crowing about it on Finebaum after the fact.

It's not like he is saying Auburn will win the west. He is saying if they have a few things fall their way and a couple of the other teams have issues , they could have a chance.
Never understood the outrage when someones prediction doesnt sound great for your team of choice.

I think what he means is they're going to just sleep through the season and get ready for a new regime next year.

Well duh. When Auburn is picked to finish last, they are more likely to finish first. If they're picked to finish first, they're more likely to finish last.

It's the Auburn way.

And 2010 with cam newton was a good bet. Nobody was sleeping on them that year.


Plenty of people were. We were preseason #22, behind Bama, Arkansas, and LSU.
There were huge question marks about Cam Newton going into the season. He looked average at best in the spring game, and was inconsistent and inaccurate all through summer and fall camp. On here he was called "Brent Schaeffer 2.0".

People acknowledged the potential of Cam in Malzahn's offense and his athletisicm, and the fact that we had a shite ton of seniors. But most thought we'd have an 8-4 regular season.

Does everybody remember when Auburn was picked #8 in the country going into the season last year?



And Jeremy Johnson was the next Cam Newton/Heisman winner/National Champion QB?



Herbie has given Aubie the kiss of death.

Does everybody remember the last time Arkansas was picked to or actually did anything worth a shite?



Probably not because most of us here aren't 60+

Some dummy doesn't understand the difference between picking somebody to win the division and a sleeper pick.
