Ole Miss is at home.

Please tell me how Florida is going to be better. They were horrible last year and I am not sure how they answered their questions.

We have beaten Florida in the Swamp. I do not see why that game is not winnable for us.

Well in their defense, we did lose more in the draft than Texas

I do not get the Auburn Hype. They were not that good last year. Who did they beat? Alabama beat themselves...they won against an overrated Missouri team in the SECCG. Why does everyone think they will be so good?

I'm so sick of this crap.

ETA: So is Wisconsin at #15. I guess we'll settle that real quick.

This publication is putting way too much emphasis on our lack of QB experience. I'd bet if we had an established QB returning our ranking would be dramatically improved.

QB experience is important but the last two Heisman winners have been QB's who began their Heisman season with little to no college experience.

I don't believe Athlon had Auburn ranked in their 2013 national poll. Shows what they know.



Auburn could have been a 4 loss team last yr. They can't predict those lucky arse plays that won them the majority of their games!

True about the predicting part. However you have to be in the game, and within striking distance, in order to pull it out at the end. In May of 2013 I doubt if any of the Athlon people would have given Auburn a chance of being in the Bama game.

It doesn't matter if you win the game on the last play or in the first quarter. If you find a way to win then there's nothing lucky about it IMHO.

We're probably good for 10 wins. Now wherever that gets us remains to be seen, but I'd have to think it'll be better than 4th in SEC.

I am glad I am not the only one that remembers that. It seems like they just wrote down the exact list of questionable positions

Don't really see the comparison to the 2011 season.

Last time OM played us to the wire in TS.

Second, I never said the UF game was not "winnable". I just don't think it will be a cakewalk. Muschamps job is on the line this year and in the fact that we will have two inexperienced QBs on the road playing. It's going to be a 3-5 pt game.

LSU is going to be fine. I see us beating Alabama and losing to Auburn, to be honest. Plus 1000

Plus we will lose some fluke game maybe A&M or Arky on the road.

10-2 again
