Maybe beat some mediocre team in the B12 in Tampa to get to 8-5 I'd hate to waste the best schedule we've had of the playoff era all because we couldn't find a good transfer QB--which shouldn't be that difficult, given the track record of our HC and OC. Didn't JLee say this week Freeze had a plan in that regard? Edited January 28, 2023 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a wide spectrum between 7-5 and a playoff team. So no. Point being, I think we could go 9-4 if we could just get one. And that would be a damn good first year.

It would be incredibly disappointing if we don't land a decent QB, though--I see no reason we shouldn't be able to.

Ok, you mentioned playoffs and thought you were thinking we could be in it. 8-4 with a Bowl win to 9-4 is Def possible if we can land a competent QB or have that from Ashford/HG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,201 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I watched Josh Pate’s surprise teams and he posted the schedule. I paused and thought about likely outcomes. very possible Auburn is 3-0 heading into TaMu. Let’s say Auburn loses its next 3 @TaMu, UGA, @LSU. 3-3 Return home to our new rival Ole Miss in a huge game. W’s next 5. The Mississippis, Vandy, Arky, and New Mexico. 8-3 with Bama coming to Jordan Hare. That JHS magic is a thing. 8-4, 9-3. How good Texas A&M or LSU is could be the difference in a 10 win season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg5 536 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I think we will have another QB by the start of the season. Robbie has a lot of talent but unless someone can straighten out his head he is never going to get any better. I have watched him since high school and he hasn't changed a bit. If things go good he is always healthy and upbeat but the second something goes wrong he starts holding his arm or limping or something else. When he was in high school he had George Pickens who could catch anything close. When they scored a TD Robbie was the first one under the tent. When something went bad a coach had to come find him. I didn't see much change in attitude this past year. Freeze might be the answer for him though. We will see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,262 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I agree. Just looking at the Auburn schedule, I'm thinking 7-5 is pretty reasonable. Thing is, if Auburn can put together an OL that is competitive in SEC play, and if Auburn can put together a DL and LB group that can compete at the SEC level, and if RA or some other QB can step up and play SEC ball, Auburn might pull in another win, maybe 2. But for now, I'm at 7-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would probably make Auburn or any other SEC school in contention to win the conference championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did them no favors in recruiting since he’s got there. I think LSU will take a step back I could see Bama stumble and rumbles about Saban beginning Texas A&M is the real wild card. Auburn will be in the hunt in the West but probably finishes 3rd and pulls a top 5 recruiting class and another strong transfer class. Georgia has zero problems in the East. Mizzou could surprise and challenge for 2nd. i agree on texas A&M but i also have some faith that jimbo will mess them up like he did FSU. i have heard there are problems in the locker room and reports of players smoking that evil green lettuce which makes me assume they are already going downhill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're probably enough to beat every team on our schedule except UGA/Bama and possibly LSU b/c it is in BR.

Well when I think of SEC caliber , I am thinking of UGA, BAMA, etc. Not Arkansas or Kentucky. Arkansas is for sure not SEC caliber at every position. To me that separates the elite teams from just the good teams. If we are SEC caliber at every position then we should have an LSU like turnaround.
