all this poll is good for is to give us something to yak about until the season starts. It is basically a popularity contest and we beat the Clemson team that is ranked higher than us.

Auburn needs to take that next step. IMO, to be a "great" team you should have high expectations from the experts (and of yourselves) and live up to those expectations. Let's be honest...

I definitely think we are a better team than LSU, but as always, their defense is AMAZING. But so is ours, so I can't wait for that game. But I am glad we are not ranked in the top 5 b/c it seems that whenever we are ranked high, we always suck. But then when we are ranked too low, we go undefeated and get shafted in the NC game. Soo, my point is that I LOVE AUBURN FOOTBALL AND I CAN"T WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO START!!!!!!!!!!

We have to earn that respect. And to do that we need to quit losing to teams like USF and Miss State. Especially at home. On paper we look great. We have to prove it on the field now. I think this year we get that respect. Warrrr Eagle!!!!!!

I don't think Auburn is deserving of a preseason #1 ranking till they prove they deserve it. That being said, the Sporting News rankings of 1 through 15 are:
#1 Georgia
#2 OSU
#3 USC
#4 Oklahoma
#5 LSU
#6 Missouri
#7 Clemson
#8 WVU
#9 Florida
#10 Illinois
#11 Texas
#12 Kansas
#13 VT
#14 Wisconsin
#15 Oregon
I just believe that Auburn deserves to be ranked higher because a few teams in the top 15 are ranked a...

To be honest, in my opinion thats not too far unaccurate. I mean, Auburn has talent, but they still are young. You can't expect them to be ranked #1 right off the bat.

To be fair, we are going into the season with a pair of brand-new coordinators and a couple of new starting QBs.

they still remember 03 when they had us number 1 but I think we were #16 in 04 so that may be a good thing.

Sorry if this info has been posted already. Anyway, I picked up a copy of " Sporting News - College Football '08 " and just want to question why I would waste hard earned money on such a piece of trash magazine. Preseason ranking for Auburn is #16 - " Tigers will be terrific on defense, but their new spread offense will take time to develop ". I must disagree. The Chick-fil-A bowl showed glimpses of the magic, but the A Day game showed some real promise for the future...
