Then you and most other fans on here place ZERO emphasis on: player development, incoming redshirts who will contribute, incoming recruiting class who could have an impact, significant coaching changes and by most counts will be for the better, one of the most respected offensive minds in all of coaching now is a cyclone, and last year with so many injuries it was ridiculous... So you don't take any of this into account?? Auburn won the NC and the following two years were avg. at best. Why?
It's a different year with some different coaches and some new players as well. I agree there are more ifs than known's but let's not just scrap the season yet.
