I'd rather have a program that is best positioned for future success and the one that averages 2 losses a year rather than the one who averages 4.

Aside from the Prayer at Jordan-Hare and Kick Six, Auburn has posted records of 8-4, 7-5, and 3-9. But they're a Top 5 program because they outbid MSST for Cam Newton....


no. they're a top 5 team because they have 2 sec championship trophies and 1 crystal ball in their trophy case while LSU has only 1 sec trophy and the most embarrassing loss in a BCS title game ever over the same span.

what have you seen this year that makes you think LSU is better positioned for future success than auburn anyway? I see nothing other than LSU not losing as many upperclassmen after this season. I guarantdamntee you that auburn will still be much more productive on offense next year than an AJ led LSU offense. never mind that they hired a new defensive coordinator recently that has had pretty good success in the sec.

While the qb position can be an upgrade at Aub. That team that went 8-4 is losing a lot of talent around that player. I'd be surprised if they are much better than 8-4 next year.

Muschamp is great and all, but I still think it will take at least 1 season to fix the defense. Its not the same as Malzahn coming in. His players were already there he recruited for that offensive scheme.

What exactly is the criteria that you're using? If this is the reasoning behind including Auburn, it should also serve to eliminate Ohio State.

Time will tell, as for now it's just a theory. The HUNH offense cannot coexist with a defense. Auburn next year will be the ultimate litmus test with Muschamp on staff.

Easy schedule, roster heavily saturated with upperclassmen, and young rosters across the SECW. We will lose no more than 2 games, IMO.

Give me consistent success over Boom-or-Bust. Personal preference.

I think this presents an interesting point. Is the goal to accumulate the most wins or is the goal to win the hardware (SEC, NC, or BCS bowls)? Would you trade LSUs body of work for Auburn's since 2010?
