UT is really bare.

They are lucky to get bowl eligible.

I'll take the over. I say 6 wins in the regular season and a trip to Birmingham for the BBVA Compass Bowl

That's why I like them. New coach, new philosophies - I don't think there are too many egos to slow the transition. At AU (and Arkansas), I think the transition will be a little slower.

In reality, I have no clue - just speculating

You really think that makes any difference as to what will happen this year?

Case in point:
2011 - Very average AU team beat a bad Ole Miss team 41-23.
2012 - AU should win, right? Right?

In regards to us yes because we return everyone. We never win at JHS though so I'll say it's a tossup

So... you are agreeing with my original point about Ole Miss not being a guaranteed loss for AU?

I never guarantee anything but saying we were average when the score says otherwise was incorrect

Ole Miss has won in Auburn twice since I've been following football... in 99 with Ramero Miller and in 03 with Manning. Both were tight (especially 2003). AU's lost in oxford twice that I can remember... 08 and 12.

I guess it's a matter of perspective then. Ole Miss may have been good in your view last year. Auburn was average at best in 2011 from my point of view... and they won 8 games.

That average team was only up by 7 with 5 minutes left in the game.

Amazing what two TDs in the final 5 minutes of a game do to your self esteem, one of which occurred bc the QB threw a pick on the first play of the drive and you got the ball on the Auburn 30 yd line.

08/31 – Washington State..- WIN

09/07 – Arkansas State..-WIN

09/14 – Mississippi State..-WIN - Sorry, MSU returns to the bottom of the SEC this season

09/21 – at LSU..- will be underdog especially since we are at LSU

09/28 – Open Date..

10/05 – Ole Miss..- WIN - I give us an edge here bc AU is off the weekend before and OM has to play Bama in Tuscaloosa

10/12 – Western Carolina..-WIN

10/19 – at Texas A&M..- will be the underdog

10/26 – Florida Atlantic..-WIN

11/02 – at Arkansas..- Toss Up

11/09 – at Tennessee..- Toss Up

11/16 – Georgia..- will be the underdog

11/23 – Open Date..-

11/30 – Alabama..- will be the underdog

I see 6 wins, 2 toss ups, and 4 most likely losses

Worst case scenario is 6 wins
Probably 7 assuming we win a toss up
Reasonable chance at 8 wins by either winning a 2nd toss up or upsetting one of the teams above

There is a chance against A&M - I think JFF has a bad sophomore slump - too many distractions for him.

LSU - if it's a night game in BR they will win

Last year I didn't give us a chance against Georgia or Bama. However, with the new coaching staff, both those games at home and after the 2009 Iron Bowl, I believe anything can happen in a rivalry game.

Split the Mississippi schools. The wins and losses could be swapped between those 2, IYAM. Definite losses to Georgia, Texas A&M, Alabama, and LSU. Best case scenario is 8 wins before a bowl game, I see 7 wins, and the worst case scenario is 5 wins. That's how I see the season going right now. DWI.

I see a possible upset at LSU out of those.
