They don't mind sticking Auburn with the toughest schedule every time. We do need to abolish perma cross division games (or heck go all the way and abolish divisions). But USCe is hardly a brutal opponent (I don’t care what happened this year, that was an added on game in a meaningless season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,054 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 1st year Auburn coach. 13-0 or 12-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodford 3,660 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Auburn will be 5-0 when Georgia comes to town. Gameday will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,054 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 Early games against Florida and Miami away from Bryant Denny could be tricky with all theyre replacing on offense. @TaMu could be interesting with 2 new Qbs. Sophmore Qb in JHS won’t be a walk in the park. Bama probably still gonna Bama though. Edit to add Heupel and Kiffin’s high speed offense can’t be dismissed either.

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hopefully Harsin gets more credit if he beats a top 15 caliber Penn State away early in the season than Malzahn got beating top 15 caliber Oregon & Washington away early in the season. It was like those wins didnt even happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they play ole miss, nobody gives ole miss a chance When we play ole miss, we stress cause we know. Same thing with other common opponents.

The perception has been created and how they view opponents. They open with Miami away - Florida away - aTm away - MSU away - Auburn away. Wouldn't that be considered a tough away schedule for most programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat related we need a big 2022 recruiting class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're the #1 team, it's harder to get the top schedule since you're the most difficult. IMO, they still have a difficult schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger1992 999 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Yeah, unfortunately agree. Bama's OOC has Southern Miss, New Mexico State, and Mercer. Roughly equal to our Akron, Georgia State, and Alabama State. They have Miami, we have Penn State. Miami probably a little tougher draw, but they get them in their second home (Atlanta) and we travel, so basically a wash. They play Florida and UT in the East, we play UGA and USC. About the same. We both play the same teams in the West. The unfortunate part and only real difference is they are the 700 pound gorilla, and we have to play them. They're scary, we're not.

That's a baby s*** soft schedule for them after Texas A&M. They'll coast to the Iron Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
