re: early, early look at the 2012 preseason top 25

tHE bottomline,however,is that we will have to win at Auburn and Florida, who I suspect will be much better next year, not to mention that we will have to win at ARkansas which has been tought even when Saban was here and of course get by Saban not to mention South Carolina. As postive a Tiger fan as I usually am, i think this may have been the year and we let it slip away. Hopefully im wrong but I see next year being toughter than this year even with a what most everyone would say is a much easier shcedule. Guess will know i 8 months (Man that is a longtime). Im not really looking forward to the Recruiting Board as I guess Bama will finish ahead their too. And before any one really gets down on me (I graduated from LSU in 1983) so I had to sit thru all the Bear Bryant whippings as a kid and youn g college student, till we finally got him 20-10 during the fall of my senior year at LSU.
