aucat 69 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Considering the recuiting incapability for the past cplk of yr, don't expect that happen even with a great coach like CHF. I will bet on 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creed 1,658 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 No. I keep it real simple. The only expectation I have is to go to the games and cheer on the Tigers no matter the score. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,873 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I can’t imagine any reasonable AU person would expect a playoff spot next year. That’s pushing it a little even for a crazy fanbase like us lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucom96 1,632 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 If we hit the portal and recruit optimally, I’d say top 20-15. We have a very big hole to dig out of. Two years is asking for a lot of stars to align. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn02 130 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm not going to fantasize about making the playoffs just yet, but if you're being honest getting into the top 12 is not all that lofty of a goal when you have 3 loss teams up in that range now. But those 3 losses can't be Bama/UGA/LSU and still expect to get there. For next year, I "expect" improvement and we get Vandy along with an easier non-conference schedule, so I'll say 7 wins minimum, hoping for 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,180 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Our needs are to great to have a complete turn around even with the Portal. In this years HS class we would have to flip a lot of players most of whom would not help in 1st year. Then we lose our best two DL in Wooden and Hall plus though not great we lose almost whole O-Line. Basically we are looking at rebuilding O-Line and D-line both starters and backups. It is hard to say how good our DB's are because when we had games like bama where we were not getting pressure we were asking them to cover for to long. We have two very good RB's in Hunter and Alston plus it appears we still have Cobb coming in so we are ok there. Need an infusion of talent at LB, current WR's might be ok but need more big ones, we are fine at TE and who knows at QB. I am looking for filling out HS class some of whom will be projects especially O-line, Portal to start rebuild but will still have holes. The good to great teams have enough talent to rotate to keep players fresh and to be ready for injuries. I don't think we can pull in enough talent to be able to do that in 1st year. I always hope for the best but what I would like to see if enough of a talent infusion that we can beat the cream puffs, be competitive with the big boys for 2 or 3 quarters before lack of depth hurts us and a scheme on both O and D that hides our weaknesses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR 2,446 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Lets see what the roster looks like in a few months. The roster as of today is on the low end of the conference. I think that will inprove but it remains to be seen how quick and to what degree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUY2K 272 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Year 1: 7-8 wins. Hopefully year 3 we are making a run for an appearance in the SEC championship game and a playoff spot - I have no idea what the dynamics of the SEC will look like by 2026. Pods? 12 team playoff?

Win4AU 4,055 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 No reason Auburn can’t be in the playoff hunt in 2024. I think I heard yesterday that LSU was in the same position scholly wise as Auburn will be after this year. Last I checked they play in Atlanta this weekend. 2 portal classes and 1 HS class could get Auburn top 15 depending on how things break. Obvious goal is to depend less and less on the portal except for roster band aids and home run prospects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately at AU football, head coaches come in and win a championship year one, then we give them a 100 million contract and the next year they go to crap . So I would be ok if maybe we just have a winning record and then improve every year afterward 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Joe Borrows, that transferred looking like a walk on then turned into a Heisman winner the next year at the new school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
