You seriously think our RB recruiting is fine and they’re just not developed? LOL
What would make you believe we haven't been recruiting well at RB's? Please show me your stats to back that up.

They’re a bunch of lower ranked guys that have no chance at the NFL.
So 4*'s are lower ranked guys now?
You are really making some absurd claims in this thread. quote:
Our rivals routinely get the 5 and high 4 star guys and send them to the league.
Cool. They've done much better at developing their players than we have. What has happened when we have signed the 5* guys? Clearly they should have made it into the league right? They were higher rated recruits.

None of these guys have a chance at seeing an NFL field.
You don't think Tank Bigsby has a chance to see the NFL? Damn you have some bizarre opinions.

We had a streak of 1,000 yard backs that ended as soon as Kerryon Left and we were stuck with Boobie/Martin/Shivers. Notice how Kerryon was a highly ranked 4 star.

Kerryon was the last high level RB we signed and he went 2nd round. Our two draft eligible 5 star defensive lineman are projected first round in this years draft.

Tank has a chance. He’s the first elite guy we’ve gotten since 2015 with Kerryon. I was referring to those on the 2019 team.

We haven't had much luck with highly rated Oline. Most have ended up not being as elite as we wanted them to be. Oline has to be the toughest position to rate coming out of high school. Easiest seems to be RB.

So, you're in the camp that Clemson's softer schedule doesn't benefit them when it comes to post season time? Interesting.
The gap between the ACC and SEC is massive. The gap between the SEC West and SEC East isn't that large. East went 8-6 vs. the West in 2018 and 7-7 against the West in 2019. The gap was fairly large for a few years but isn't anymore. Throw in the two wins for the West in the conference title game and it's 15-15 head to head. It's not at all comparable to the ACC vs. SEC gap.

You didn't even attempt to answer my question. Want to try again, or is it too difficult of a question for you?

Define high level please. We aren't talking about defensive linemen. We are talking about running backs. Under Gus, we have consistently had our highest rated RB's fail once they get to Auburn.

I really think you may be mentally challenged. You complain about recruiting, then you try and back up your stance with how the recruits perform once they get to college. This entire time you are making arguments that point to us doing a poor job of developing our players and developing the offense around them, then try and act like i'm absurd when I point out that our development is the problem.
You've yet to make a single argument that shows our RB recruiting has been poor. We've signed on average 2 4* RB's every single year. For the 100th time, the level we are recruiting is not what is holding us back. You are just too dense to understand the difference.

Also Auburn has a five game losing streak against the East and a significantly better record against the West than the East over the past 20 years.
Seems weird for yall to complain so much about the West wearing you down in light of that. Maybe Richt and Kirby just had yall's number?

So you do agree though that a team having a more difficult schedule leading up to a meeting, can have a bearing on the outcome when the team's face?
I don't think anyone is or has argued that the only reason we have struggled so much against UGA is because the schedule we have to face is pretty largely more difficult than UGA's. However, trying to act like it doesn't have any bearing is absurd. Reglar season schedules between UGA and AU have been wide apart the past couple of years.

Has anyone ever said they haven't? We also blame Gus for quite a lot of it. He is atrocious on the road.
I don't think you UGA fans have much of a real understanding of what/why Auburn wanted to change the UGA game. The original plan was not to move it earlier in the year.

If wear and tear is a significant factor why has Auburn fared better against Bama than the rest of the SEC even though they play them last?
If the west beats auburn down so bad, why does auburn have a 5 game losing streak vs. the East and a worse record vs. the East than the west in recent years?

Because Gus Malzahn is an enigma. I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at.
