Prior to the season, Don Kausler (Bama beat writer for Bham News) predicted Alabama would lose one game this year----to the South Carolina Gamecocks.

The barn is going to destroy us this season.

I think alot of people saw we would stumble at the 3rd leg of this stretch. I thought we would lose one this year. I was thinking Florida. You cant have that young of a defense and not stumble.

As for the fellow who said we will lose to the barn. Go ahead and think that. THat is our last loss this season I think. I feel the Barn loses to LSU, us, Arkansas and maybe either Ole Miss or UGA. UGA/Ole Miss is coming together. UGA has the Barns number.

Ok chicken little.

how many teams in the top 7 would be more than 5 and 1 right now if they had played our schedule? the deck was stacked against us this year from the start. next year i think it will be better. maybe we get to atlanta this year but if we don't i not going to be to bad upset about it.

I'm an Auburn fan and I won't even go that far. After watching Bama's defense play I'm certainly more confident in our ability to win the game. After watching our defense, I'm just as scared we'll get our teeth kicked in. We aren't going to be able to rely exclusively on Cam Newton against Bama--Saban and Smart will scheme to take him away. He'll still make plays but if he is our offensive gameplan it will be a long afternoon. It is absolutely a game Auburn has the ability to win. It is also a game that could easily be an ugly loss.

rollntider, the Arkansas game worries me. I don't know, call me odd but I think LSU gets exposed. I'd feel a lot better about the game if it wasn't the tail end of the UK, Arky stretch but I think LSU is very overrated. Ole Miss and UGA? Unless you know something I don't I'm not convinced those will be tough games. If we overlook them or don't come to play they could certainly bite us but if we come in and play with our A-game we are better than both of those teams. My gut tells me Auburn enters the Iron Bowl with one loss.

Although for Bama's national title hopes to still have wings, you guys need Auburn to come in undefeated to give yourselves a marquee win. I think the luster will be long gone from the UF win come November unless they find an offense quickly.

The Auburn/Arkansas game will be a real test for Auburn's defense. And it will probably bring some light as to whether Auburn is one-dimensional with Cam Newton or actually has the firepower to present a balanced offensive attack against a stout SEC team.

LSU gets a "semi bye week" this week against McNeese to prepare against Auburn at Jordan Hare the following Saturday. Will Miles' luck run out before they play Bama.

I'm hoping that the loss we had with SC will help negate the bye week that Ole Miss has enjoyed to get our staff and players more focused. We'll see.
The truth will come next Saturday!

In spite of what some say about the SEC having a down year this year, I feel it is just starting to heat up!
