You forgot first Defensive End to receive the Heisman Trophy.

Yes.... Yes I did.  Bad oversight on my part.

(It's now corrected.)

Thank you!

Don't mean to bog down the thread with discussion, but I don't think Stidham comes here. Tifwiw.

Wow. First I've seen of this.

Mark my words Kam Pettway, may not rush for 1000 yds, but he will knock out a few defensive backs.  I was tempted to put this in the over/underpage at 4 DBs, but felt it made more sense here.

You can see exhibit A at the 7:30 mark.

Mark my words:

The National Champion will come from the ACC.

A surprise team will finish last in the SEC West.

There will be 2 big upsets the first weekend in college football. 

Jeremy Johnson will play a lot this year. 

Neither Kam or KJ will have 1000 yards but together they will rush for about 1500 yards.

Auburn will win a game or 2 that we have no business winning this year... with defense. 

Speaking of the defense... The AU defense will look rough the first game, and people will start to doubt them, but they will finish the season somewhere in the top 40 nationally for the first time in 8 years. This year will be the beginning of a defensive run at AU.

Carlson gets a chance to kick a 60+ FG and makes it.

Mark my word: IF it is not a good season I will still be an Auburn supporter.

MMW The pass to Jason Smith from Sean at the 8:20 mark is a thing of beauty in that clip and will be a recurring theme all season as we head to Atlanta with one lose being a close one to Lswho early in the season.

I remember when Georgia's Kevin Butler hit a 60-yarder. Tho I don't like Georgia, I was rooting for Butler to make it because you rarely see 60+ attempted.

Missed a 71-yarder by about 3 yards (hit the end line which is 8 feet beneath the crossbar).

He and Janikowski are the two best College kickers I've ever seen.

Mark my words, TCU gets in the playoffs.

Mark my words, the RB from Stanford wins the Heisman.

Mark my words, Boise St or Houston will be a "fly in the ointment" when it comes time to select the 4 playoff teams.

Great predictions. Add San Diego St. to the "fly in the ointment." If they get past Cal in Week 2, they have the schedule to run the table.

[AUatHeart 624]

Yep, I forgot about the Aztecs.

MMW: The Sunbelt conference will beat a football power this year

Woo hoo.  Got this one right already with Miss State losing to South Alabama. I thought I would have it after the first night with the way Tennessee was playing

Mark My Word:

 

LSU will win the SEC

 

Auburn will finish September 2-2 and will finish the regular season 8-4. 

 

The AU defense will finish the season ranked in the top 20 in total defense, scoring defense, sacks, and interceptions. 

 

Auburn will hire Kendall Briles as OC, get transfer J. Stidham, and start 2017 season with very high expectations. 

Mark My Word!  I was WAY OFF BASE with that pick! LOL!

The rest is looking good though, Preacher

MMW:  Pettway will rush for over 100 yards against Clemson. 

Didn't play against Clemson but did rush over 100 in first game played. 

MMW: Vanderbilt and Kentucky will make a bowl game. The coach that doesn't will be fired. 

Check.

MMW: More than 5 teams will change conferences in the next year. 

TBD but likely not.  This was based on Big 12 expansion. 

MMW: The Sunbelt conference will beat a football power this year. 

check.  USA over miss state

MMW: TD to Int ratio will be over 2:1 for Auburn QBs.

check. 

This is the best I have done on this.  Anyone else got close?

Nailed that one!

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,666]

As you scroll down the first page and lead optimism seeps in, you start seeing guys nail their predictions. I liked the one about the most guys taking a snap.
