Not to mention they play LSU and aTm on the road. Plus not sure we have a clear idea of how good or bad their QB play will be.
I can tell you that I'm confident that aTm and LSU wont be anywhere near as good as what they were last year, and both teams maybe fighting for 8-4 or 7-5. Auburn is a lot more stable than both teams, and more than likely the team that challenges us for the West.
You mention aTm on the road... Auburn has NEVER lost in College Station. On the flipside LSU hasn't lost to Auburn since Tuberville and Dinardo faced off. So......
It just seems every time when Auburn returns a good deal of players on defense, LSU loses a lot on defense, and Bama fans are predicting 5 or more losses for Auburn in a year that we have to go to JHS Auburn always seems to shoot the moon record wise. Maybe 9-10 wins is too much, but I can tell you for a fact Auburn wont struggle for 8 wins.
