    Team 8- the Auburn Tigers

    last year- 3-9
    HC- Gus Malzahn is back after leaving for 1 season
    OC- doesnt matter
    DC- Ellis Johnson is making his 5th SEC stop (counting his 2 week stint as UPig DC) after being fired from his last 2 jobs

    offensive starters returning- 7 (QB, RB, WR, TE, 3 OL)
    defensive starters returning- 8 (Both DT's, DE, MLB, entire Secondary)

    schedule:

    Washington State
    Arkansas State
    State
    @LSU
    Open
    Ole Miss
    W. Carolina
    @ A&M
    Fla Atlantic
    @ UPig
    @ Tennessee
    Georgia
    Open
    Bama

    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.

    6-6

    Washington State -- Win. Both Wazzu and Auburn coming off 3-9 seasons, but I am just guessing that AU will be slightly better.
    Arkansas State -- Win.
    State -- Loss. We have played them tough the past few years. In 2011 we pissed away a great chance to win on the road. I think we can do that this year.
    @LSU -- Loss. LSU squeaked out a 12-10 victory last year in Auburn. There was no pitching in that game.
    Open
    Ole Miss -- Win. Auburn could have easily won last year's contest in Oxford.
    W. Carolina -- Win
    @ A&M -- Loss. Got massacred at home last year.
    Fla Atlantic -- Win
    @ UPig -- Win. Hard to predict since I don't expect much out of either team. Flip a coin.
    @ Tennessee -- Loss
    Georgia -- Loss
    Open
    Bama -- Loss

    I think Mike Leach pulls the upset in week 1, sending Auburn into a tailspin. 4-8 (1-7), beating either Tennessee, Arkansas, or Ole Miss.

    6-6. I think we get em back for 2011. They beat OM coming off a bye and Rebs comings off Bama. at Upig is a toss up but the hogs have a bye the week prior. They do beat UT.

    7-4, beat the Black Bearz, Pigz, and Houndz.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    5-7. Only SEC win is ole miss. Probably just wishful thinking, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    That offense will be better. With Gus calling the shots and having the right personnel in place will make the O much improved. The D, however, will be the big ?.
