Auburn Tigers I reckon they win the SEC this year and make the playoffs
I'm an Auburn fan, as well, and while I am cautiously optimistic, the Tigers are going to have to play a hell of a lot better than they did against Louisville if this prediction is going to come true.
For some reason, Auburn always seem to be a bit sketchy in their season openers. And in years when they have raised expectations, it tends to be worse.
Here's my take:
Offense - Malzahn is solid. The run game is solid. But if the Tigers intend to pass more this season, JJ is going to have to do better than he did in week 1. I didn't expect a 3-pick game against Louisville. He has a lot of things to correct.
Defense - Good start, and I love Muschamp's fire. But that letdown in the 4th is cause for concern. Need more consistency - can't live on boom and bust.
I think Auburn absolutely CAN stay in the conversation for the playoff, but if they don't fix their mistakes and fast, it looks like it could be a 3-loss season.
