Auburn's schedule is no joke..

[57stratdawg]

Road games at arguably the SEC's three best teams (Bama, UGA & MSU). UW in Atlanta.

I could see us losing to Auburn, since it's in such a bad spot on our schedule, but still finishing 11-1. Their defense is legit but their offense is going to stagnate, but they are going to get some Auburn bounces just because they have a high resting talent pulse. I can see us being down emotionally after the Florida high and they come in and take us out

As usual in our peak years, the game in Tuscaloosa means everything

On the flip side, they won’t have anyone play them within 14 points at home all season.

We have a real coach now. Not a spectator like Muggins

Well all signs indicate we have a real coach, the proof will be in the pudding this Fall. JoMo has been a great assistant in FBS but that is still different than being a HC.

9 of their games are in the state of Alabama. The other three are in Oxford, Starkville, and Athens. Just throwing that out there.

I did not know Liberty had a football team. I see a lot of 2014, but with hopefully a more confident coach versus Bama.

I like where they fall. A home game right after a big home game, like in 2014.

I think this squad has a goal bigger than just beat Florida, so hopefully they won’t get too high on beating them. It will
Be personal for some, but I trust these coaches and team captains to help keep emotions in check.

I'm not sure there will be a big high from beating Florida. I know it's a traditional power and there is the Mullen angle, but I would think the florida game won't hold a candle to Bama or Auburn and will be behind Ole miss as far as emotions go, and should be about like KSU and LSU on the road.

ESPN dropped Auburn from 14 to 19 in their post-spring top 25. We went from 20 to 16. Alabama is now the only team on our schedule ranked ahead of us in that poll.

Actually 8 of their games are in alabama...

I think its that way pretty much every other year since they play an in-state rival. So do we for the same reason. 8 games in MS this season.

But I do see your point. Their longest road trip of the season is less than 300 miles. Not that this portends a picnic. Athens and T town might be easy drives but they won’t be easy games.

 

[patdog]

Does anyone else get the impression ESPN just almost randomly ranks teams and changes them up for no real reason just to get more site visits? Hard to see how a team could rise or fall 5 spots from late February to late April. It's not that often a team rises or falls that much from an actual game in the fall.

 

[kendesu]

They probably switched Alabama and Clemson at the top to get some clicks, but the reason they gave for dropping Auburn was injuries, including two receivers with ACLs and two offensive linemen where they are replacing four of five starters.
