Someone really is going to have to explain to me what people see in Clemson going into next year.
10 wins, don't believe me...try cutigers.com
Seriously, they can sleep walk (and usually do) through there wretched schedule and win 8 games.
I think they are expecting a lot from their recruiting class this year. Also, they've got some weapons, but are relying on an inexperienced QB to get it to them.

I see their season going more like the '08 LSU team.
same here. That was a very frustrating year for us. I see a lot of similarities as well.

They were a spear in the back of the QB from beating yall last year. They return more than yall do, and it's in their place.
They went 6-7 last year riding the back of Bowers, and lost him along with Kyle Parker.
The only players they return that looked anything better than terrible last year are those two RBs.

Possible, but I doubt.
In back to back weeks they are
@ SC
@ Arky
Fla
@Lsu
Open date
Ga
Samford
Bama
I could maybe see Ga a toss up. I think Bama will annihilate them this coming year. And after two tough road games, I think Fla handles them.

That one game sample isn't even that great of an example, because we were sleepwalking throughout the first half of that game, especially on offensive line. That halftime was the turning point of the season.

Will Malzahn outcoach the impenetrable Saban/Smart defense for a third straight year?

We can agree to disagree, but AU has played Bama down to the wire since Gus and Chizik have been there, and with lesser talent in a few years. IMO it won't change this year. UF plays AU at AU, and that's never an easy deed for us. I think they lose back to back road trips early on because of their inexperience and AR fun n gun style offense will be tough for AU to handle. I also have them losing in DV because IMO LSU is the best team in the conference going into the '11 season. Plus, it's DV, probably the toughest place to play in the SEC.

How about the other 8 games Au had to come from behind in then? You don't have that talent there anymore to come from behind like that. Hardly any experience on the Oline to lean on. 6 of your leading tacklers gone. All your WR's...

Yeah.. that 2009 was a great moral victory.

I really don't see Clemson having a good squad at all next year, unless that recruiting class has some of the best true freshman ever to grace a football field.

Nor do I. I also don't see Auburn having a good squad at all next year. It's too young and there are too many trips on the road for the inexperience to overcome.

I think our overall talent > their overall talent. They might be more experienced, but honestly all of those returning players are mediocre, and unless they have one hell of a turnaround, will again be mediocre.

Ok. I'm sold. I like the Tigers in this one.

Most Bammers expect us to go 4-8 to maybe 6-6, what a surprise..
My guess would be 8-4 or 9-3. Will not predict every game, but Auburn can certainly beat EVERYONE on their schedule. The toughest game for Auburn is LSU in Baton Rouge. Alabama is right about their slogan "Never Again", never again will they lose to Fairley and Cam. But Auburn will be ready to play in that game and has had remarkable success in Ttown and Auburn. Auburn's record in those two towns is a combined 14-4..

Alahunter is really bringing original thoughts to the table in this thread.

7 wins max. Utah St, Samford, Fla Atl, Miss St, Ole Miss, Clemson and UCF or someone like that in a bowl.
