The Cheezik Era is over. Lots of good recruiting followed by lots of attrition. They still have some talent, but not as much as they would like to think they do. I see them winning 3 SEC games tops- but they would have to beat State and OM at home, then UPig in FayetteNam to get there. I dont think the GusBus meets the 7-8 win expectations that their fans have. The State-Auburn game likely decides which team goes bowling and which one doesn't- neither team can afford to lose this game. They have a week off to get ready for OM at home.
