Trotter doesn't care where you rank Auburn

They'll revert to the mean, at least for them, somewhere around 8-5 IMO.

Only 1 returning D lineman with experience, linebackers have been depleted and the secondary will be completely rebuilt. 40% of the roster from last year is gone. With all this turnover it will be tough to repeat. 7-6 IMO.

Spent all their money last year.

That's what I was going to say. Thanks for the ninja PR.

AU will be fine. It will be a down year but long term they have recruited well and as long as that OC stays there they will be fine. He leaves and watch out.

Of 120 NCAA division 1 teams, auburn is ranked dead last for returning starters. It's going to be a tough year.

one exception JK, many of those D-1 teams were so lousy they don't want their starters coming back...they want some new ones!

Well, true. It's all relative. Obvious, auburn is going to be better than some teams who return a lot of starters, if only because every starter they have returning sucks.

Malzahn will get the most out of the QB, whoever that is. Someone close to Aubie tell me, did second string get a lot of snaps last year? From the outside looking in, it was Newton, Fairley, and Dyer....only one of which is back. Can't remember much else a/b the team.

Yah, I think UNM gets a bunch of starters back... Not so sure anyone else would want them.

It was dead from the start. It's been hacked over on every sports outlet that Auburn is having to replace most of their starters. This is a rehash of what has been said in dozens of other articles. I will say, however, that Auburn loose a few early games (Clemson, Miss ST[?]) but they've had strong recuiting classes for three years running and have a ton of inexperienced talent. They'll close strong and some of the teams playing them late in the season better be ready.

Auburn will have to launder some drug money and pay to get some good players.

+1....don't look forward to seeing Aubie on the sideline in Fayetteville this year. I bet we get a scare from either Aubie or Tennessee this year.
