Biggest bust this year: Auburn or GaTech?

[Old Fart Dawg]

Watching GT vs VaTech.
Hard to imagine this team being 3-6
Are they a bigger flop this year than Aubie?

Absolutely. I think only the Auburn fans were expecting their team to get more than 10 wins. Most average fans expected an 8 win season. As far as Ws and Ls go, none of Auburn's losses are really that bad, though you might say they should have taken at least one of the two home games against a MS team. Auburn has looked worse than they are due to their QB situation. They will almost surely become bowl eligible.

GT on the other hand has had some close losses and did manage to have the WTF win of the year over Florida State.

Auburn. They had a Heisman candidate qb.**

Gotta be GT. Auburn had a big flop at QB, but the team is 5-4 with a tough OT loss at Ark. Honestly, they've improved every week since we played them.

I think they'll beat UGA this weekend, and be 7-4 headed into the Iron Bowl.

I think we made GT look better than they are due to our lack of a defensive game plan/coordinator in the OB. But, they were a solid team with many returning pieces.

After GT lost the close game this year at Nottre Dame, they just fell apart. Hard to explain.

Aubie had all the pre-season hype, but I couldn't see the championship talk.

Yeah, GT is the biggest flop

Probably. Sucks Mullen wouldn't let Collins coach in that game.

GT is the biggest bust in my book.

Auburn lost their QB they were going to be breaking in a new Defensive Coordinator and be playing a SEC West schedule. While Georgia Tech had a young team last year, won their division, returned the Orange Bowl MVP at QB, and was playing an easier ACC schedule.

For the folks at SEC Media Days to just assume that Auburn's new QB would just fall into step perfectly, be a Heisman Candidate, and their Defense would instantly pick up on Muschamp's system was crazy.
