....upon our arrival in the SEC. This year, they've finished dead last in the SEC in football at 0-8, dead last in basketball, and are currently dead last in the West in baseball. That's freakin' rough.

Amazing that their AD still has a job.

Aren't they fielding intramural teams? That's what I was led to believe...

Especially since they cheat.

Ain't it wonderful! RTR

They win 8-10 this year in football.

Go on polk

There is no evidence of them cheating. Don't claim a fellow SEC institution is cheating unless there is evidence of them doing so. Negative comments just cause negative comments in return.

Auburn is having a down period as we have had in the past. They will return to prominence again and we will wish they hadn’t.

No evidence?

There sure was a lot of smoke. Cam wasnt suspended for a day for nothing before bring reinstated!

Or his dad not being allowed at the BCSCG

Auburn has a top 5 offensive coach with top 15 talent. Hide and watch fellas it will be interesting.

Oh no. I hurt for you already.

It's going to be another long year.

1&2 Bama/A&M
3&4 LSU/Ole Miss
5 Arkansas
6 Miss St
7 Auburn

I'm an Aggie fan, but also an observer of other teams. I give Auburn 1/3 chance of winning as many games as ags.

Really?

They were just SO bad. I can see them being over State or Arkansas, although I don't think they will be, but I don't see them winning 10.

I wouldn't mind seeing them beat LSU!

Here's what I'm basing my thoughts on and really all I know about football. Usually teams with elite coaching and elite talent are good.

Malzahn has led the nation in total offense as often as not as an OC. Their DC while appearing to be an inept HC also appears to be a legit DC.

Auburn's final recruiting rankings on Rivals.

2013 8
2012 10
2011 7
2010 4
2009 19

That's an average of 9th overall with the 4 classes which will populate most of the roster.

Highlights over Malzahn's college coaching career

2006 Won SEC west piglets
2007 Led nation in total offense Tulsa
2008 Led nation in total offense Tulsa
2009 Finished 18th total offense with tek castoff Chris Todd at qb
2010 MNC Auburn
2011 8-5 Auburn
2102 Won Sunbelt and Arkie State's first bowl game ever

I think that makes him an elite coach.

Therefore they have elite coaching and talent.
2011. That usually means lots of wins.

I question their talent. I don't see it.

Rivals rankings don't take into account non-qualifiers, attrition, busts, etc

Teams with top 10 talent don't go 3-9 and 0-7 in conference.

But I'm not an Auburn hater. I think they'll be good again soon. Just not this year. Too much ground to make up on too many teams in too short a time

I think Chizik was just that bad. I've no explanation on why he is so terrible.

A* has lost over half of those players from those classes. Smoke and mirrows.

Yeah, you don't want your fans thinking you have top 10 talent when really you have no where near that. It causes unrealistic expectations
