Unfortunately, they pick them to be this good because they always are.BigAl said:They have a brand new qb and a new offensive and defensive coordinators and no real WR's that i know of. Quinton Groves is gone. So why do some of these idiots pick them to be so good this year?
reger60 said:On offense I think they liked what they saw in the the bowl game against Clemson. They're very deep at RB and their entire offensive line is returning intact. It'll be interesting to see if the Juco xfer Chris Todd can challenge Cody Burns at QB.
Their defense will be as good as ever -- if not better. Their front seven is stout.
As much as we hate it, I'm afraid they're going to be pretty good.

The new DC is a downgrade from Muschamp for sure that aling with a new QB they will not win the west.

Duder said:As an AU fan, this season worries me. We have the opportunity to be a great football team but a lot could go wrong, also. i think we're getting more attention than last year because even though we have a new OC and a new QB it can't possibly be worse than the Cox/Borges from a year ago. We have a very stout D again this year. Groves was a great player but didn't make a huge impact last year. Coleman and Marks made more plays.
Plus, there is the possibility of this being a down year for LSU and I, as a football fan, not an AU fan, feel that Bama is another year or two away from being a huge force in the West. Although, with all the changes at LSU and AU, they could be a sleeper if I've ever seen one this year.

I'm guessing that Rhodes will make as many tackles this season as Muschamp did last season.
