corchjay 5,311 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Probably about right but are they factoring in underclass players declared for the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 That Washington game and staying healthy will be huge. Last year because of the home schedule I thought was our shot at winning the conference but fell a little short. Because of our away schedule this year I predict 9-3/10-2. Which probably lands you around 12-15 at the end of the season. It's just hard to win on the road now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ole Miss was our last really good win on the road vs a really good team in 2014. I say 10-2 with those losses being you guessed it. At georgia and bama.

Who knows how this team starts out...2019 looks promising though. Really... crap has happened soo much where we get so close it sometimes seems like we'll never get back to the big show. But we will... Hopefully sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have talent but not as talented as 4 or 5 other teams across country but we need luck on staying healthy and sometimes the ball has to bounce your way.

I love the Auburn Culture. It's a part of our DNA. I don't like the defeatist attitudes of some, the little brother attitude, but I do like the hard work attitude and blue collar team attitude. Gus has struggled in bowl games. UCF this year was just a flop and he's responsible for the teams attitude which was very poor. We have him for a minimum of the next 5 years. The more the fan base gets behind him as a coach the better the recruiting can get. When your own fan base trashes their coach the harder it gets to recruit. Players and potential players definitely have access to the internet. But I still stand by what I said about winning on the road. it's very difficult against good teams and we play 3 very good and well coached teams away from home next year.

We do not. Those 2 things do no directly correlate at all. If Clemson can do it we sure as hell can. They will ALWAYS be Auburns little brother even with their recent sustained success. WOOOO COME ON COACH JAY!!! I know so many people try so hard to act like Auburn is a beta but we are one of the MAIN ALPHA'S of the college football world. It is time to prove it consistently which our talent dictates we should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 9-3 to 11-1 sounds good. We will win on of the games between UGA & turds. Could win both if we take care of business coming out of the gate in early September. I see a win against WA & LSU. We have a score to settle with the corndogs and I see us more than ready to take it to them in the worst sort of way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plainsman 948 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 5 of the top 20. UW QB may be the 2nd best returning starter if Stidham is the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagleChemE 99 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 It's not that Gus struggles on the road. It's that JHS is a massive home-field advantage for big games that's worth two touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson does have the advantage of playing 1-2 top 25 teams per year vs our 5-6, but I agree that we can do it without changing our culture.
