Call me crazy. Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Arkansas will make or break the season. Texas A&M especially. They are either going to win the west or be 4-8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost to all of the good teams they played last year but kept the games close. Going to give us the nod. - W Samford - same as UMass - W Texas A&M - undefeated heading into a stadium where we have actually had some luck. I think Jimbo ain't it. - W Georgia - anything can happen at JHS but I don't expect us to be to this level yet. - L LSU - I think they're going to come back down to reality a little bit this year but still too much for us on the road. - L Ole Miss - Hugh's old school, we almost hired Lane, this one has to be the most interesting evenly matched game of the year. I think we win at home and as Hugh tries to pull out a win. - W Mississippi State - this is a game we should win in my opinion. - W Vandy - Lea is a great coach for them but we need to win this game to be respected. - W Arkansas - I think KJ Jefferson is going to abuse our LBs as of now. - L NMST - should win - W Alabama - just not there yet but hey it's at home.... L 8-4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 7-5 ------- Don't think the 1st scrimmage should change much. Probably look more improved than our record shows for it. We have a 4 game season. A&M, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Mississippi I think we split those and end up at 7-5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotsAU 1,343 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) UMass - Even Harsin wouldn’t have lost this one. Too much of a talent gap. - W CAL - This has the odd feel of a trappy type game on the west coast later at night. I think it will be uncomfortably close, but we should still pull it out. - W Samford - same as UMass - W Texas A&M - I’ll own it if I’m wrong. I’ve been very vocal about thinking this team is getting way to much credit. Jimbo needed to fix his outdated stale offense so he brings in a guy that also runs an outdated offense. Petrino?? Again… a tight game being a road game, but we out coach Jimbo and win. - W Georgia - Makes me vomit, but this is the only game that I think we have no chance in. Too much of a talent gap right now. - L LSU - I also think they are getting a little overhyped. There’s a lot of focus on how they got better last season. I think people are too fixated on that and are assuming they’ve continue to improve at the same rate as last year. Still, we haven’t had the best record playing in Death Valley. I think they make one or two more plays than us here. - L Ole Miss - I think we are actually pretty evenly matched. Give me the home team. - W Mississippi State - Their new head coach decided to move MSU back to a pro style system and abandoned the air raid. No idea if this will work eventually, but I think they’ll have growing pains.. - W Vandy - Vandy is still Vandy. - W Arkansas - I like Pittman, but I don’t think he’s a good strategic coach. I think Arkansas is moving backwards again. They won’t be as good this year. - W NMST - same as first game- W Alabama - This one is interesting. They have more talent than us. But I have questions about their offense. Bryce was almost all their offense last year, and I’ve not been blown away by their QB footage this off-season. They aren’t as untouchable as they used to be. Add in the fact that our games against them in Auburn have been impressive. We’ve only been blown out at home 2 times this century… 2001 and 2011. All the rest of the games were either Auburn wins or close. I’m going to err on the side of caution, but if things come together, it wouldn’t surprise me if we pulled out a win. L My projection is 9-3. But it all hinges on OL, DL, and QB play. All were bad last year, and I don’t think anyone really knows how much they have improved. I don’t see us going backwards from last year. Freeze is a better coach and has upgraded our talent. So I think our floor is there. No progress from last year, we could slide to 6-6. If we happen to have improved a lot and continue to improve through the season, 11-1 while far from likely is plausible.

Tigerpro2a 5,650 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Im going 8-4. but the best looking, most scariest 8-4 team in CFB. I think we lose to UGA but punch them in the mouth a little in our stadium. Probably a 33-20 type of game with UGA scoring late to make it appear woirse. I think we win one of LSU and Bama. Don't know which. I think we split Tamu, Arky, Ole Miss and MSST. We will be competitve in every game, but it will be clear that our roster is just not deep enough yet for a run. We will scare people though for next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuCivilEng1 11,045 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 UMass - Agree with Zeek. This is a tune up easy dub. - W CAL - I think this is the game that people start paying a bit of attention. I think we will just be too fast a physical for them. 14 point win- W Samford - Gonna beat them like a drum. 28+ win. - W Texas A&M - Close game, due to the environment, but A&M imo is going to be as bad as last year. This game is going to heat up Jimbo’s seat really good if he loses. - Toss up Georgia - We don’t have the horses yet, but we keep in respectable. - L LSU - We historically don’t do well here, but it’s close. LSU pulls away late. - L Ole Miss - I think we expose them in JHS for the trash program they are. 17+win. OM fans start to chatter about Kiffin not being the guy. - W Mississippi State - I think we beat them by a lot. They don’t have the personnel to compete without the air raid. - W Vandy - Close until the 4th, but we win by 10. - W Arkansas -I don’t believe in Arky, but I think they sneak up . - Toss Up NMST - should win - W Alabama - Hugh assumes his place as king of the castle. We win this in the last min. -W Somewhere between 8-4, 10-2. I just don’t see us losing to the Miss schools and I think JHS is going to once again get to Bama. We just don’t know enough about the QB and D Line for me to say 10-2 for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,580 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I say we lose to UGA and LSU and split bama and TAMU. 8-4 or 9-3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,202 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 8 wins for certain, assuming no injuries to critical pieces like tackle and center. 9 wins is very possible. Auburn is at its best during coaching transitions and when expectations are tempered. History doesn't often lie. 10 wins are possible. Literally no one knows what this team is capable of because this team is totally rebuilt with quality talent and a quality staff. Time will tell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 1,054 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The four most talented teams we will face are Texas A&M, LSU, UGA, and Bama. Ole Miss and Arkansas are toss-ups. But I can't see us losing to either Mississippi team at home. I think we will be up for the Arkansas game. That puts things at an 8-4. We could lose to an Ole Miss or an Arkansas, but win Texas A&M. My gut says we are more likely to beat Bama than Texas A&M, because of the intangibles. Of course, we could struggle, and lose to Cal or some other team and end up 7-5 or even 6-6. But we also could go 9-3. We seem to have a solid enough defense, offensive line, wide receivers, tight-ends, and running backs. We have a two-year starter transfer QB. Many positions are upgraded from last year. That puts me at 8-4, with a 7-5 floor and a 9-3 upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDob06 443 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hard for me to predict a W given the talent gap, but I'm not convinced UGA is an automatic loss. We're they're first road game and they'll have a new QB in an electric JHS with Bobo as their OC. I think we lose to TAMU, LSU, and Arky. Split UGA and Bama. 8-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJB74 77 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I haven't posted in a while but here is my thoughts. if we beat A&M then i think we beat uga at home with a very loud home field advantage...think of 2017 uga game , uga will miss stetson bennett this year in tight ball games, the kid was mister clutch in tight games then we lose to LSU and go into the iron bowl with 1 L The iron bowl could be crazy this year If we lose to A&M then I think we lose to UGA, LSU and BAMA and go 8-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
