Always better when we're overlooked. I've tried to be unbiased and I think we make the SEC title game this year.

Not sure how far we go but we have to be the west favorites. And analyst having four teams ahead kinda makes sense. LSU won the title. Georgia dominated at the end. Florida should have the best offense in the SEC even though I'll get flack for that. And Tennessee won the east and like us just have to replace a qb. Auburn just has to surprise people. Be glad analyst picked other teams. Remember when they were wrong about us in 04?

I agree mab. Let the other teams wear the bullseye for the first part of the season. The only problem is that just like in '04, if we start off 15th - 20th, might be a tough climb as far as rankings are concerned even if we are fortunate enough to win the west and play in Atlanta.

You have to take these predictions with a grain of salt. Nobody knows what to expect from Auburn. Our bowl game was a pretty good indication in my opinion, but opinions are like, well you get the gist. With AU replacing the regular starting QB, replacing the OC, and DC some think Auburn will experience growing pains. I just don't see it. AU beat a top 10 defense by installing a new offensive scheme in a matter of weeks. That could have turned out to be a disaster. We all know it was anyting but a disaster. The SEC is going to be tough this year so if Auburn handles it's buisness, preseason rankings won't mean too, too much. If Auburn is good enough, or even lucky enough to go undefeated, no way in hell the BCS leaves them out of the MNC game.

I can only look at his as a good thing. Hope the oddsmakers in Vegas agree and we can get some sweet point spreads early on vs. Tennessee and West Virginia. $$$$$$

And talk about projected strength of schedule. We play 5 teams in the projected top 9 bowls; Georgia, Florida, LSU, Tennessee and West Virginia. And throw in 3 other bowl bound projected teams; Arkansas, Alabama and MSU. Wow! Thats 8 bowl teams. After we go undefeated and win the SEC championship.

The BCS will put Auburn in the championship game or be prepared to feel the power of the dark side.

If Fulmer doesn't pick it up or they don't hire a new coach Tennessee is gonna be everybody's whipping boy for the next two years.

No team will go undefeated in the SEC this year. AU will lost 2-4 games. Alabama will lose 3-5.

both Georgia and Misssissippi State will be the most competitive games on the schedule. But we will overcome both.

Clemson is a top 10 defense only b/c it plays in the shitty ACC.

If they get enough opportunities they're just bound to win one of these years. They just gotta. The SEC can't beat OSU forever. Can they?

If not OSU then who? USC? Every school that has a chance can have an argument against them. You name a school that has a chance then someone says they are tired of that school. You name a school that has never been there someone will say they don't deserve it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see OSU back in the title game. The Big 10 will be complete and utter crap next season. Plus they return a whole bunch of players from this year's squad + the addition of Pryor in a Tebow like role + the probable boost they'll get from the media by winning one of the marquee matchups of the year (beating what is in reality one of the weaker USC teams in recent history).

I can see why they project OSU back in the title game. They have the easiset ticket. Win two competitive games and they are in. As far as the SEC, it's up in the air. Right now being unbiased, I think Georgia had the best team in the SEC by season's end in 07. If I had to put money on a team to win the SEC next year, I'd put it on Georgia right now. But this is the SEC and we never know until all the games are played. A lot of great teams in the SEC for 2008. I just hope we are one of them.
