Some quick obervations so far this season:

[gravedigger]

1. Auburn is not nearly as good as we'd like to think they are based on our victory over them.
2. Alabama is not nearly as good as they were last year.
3. Arkansas is not nearly as bad as they played last week, although we DEFINATELY have to beat them now.
4. We havnt proven one thing until we put the Tennessee game behind us and do so without a loss.
5. We wont get the national respect we think we deserve (even though we'll be ranked) until the Bama game has been played.
6. OM isnt nearly as bad as we'd all love to wish on them, but they wont end up nearly as good as they think they are now.
7. The nation outside of the sec wants a Southern Cal vs Florida St matchup in the title game as bad as they want their next breath.
8. Recruiting rankings mean exactly not one 17ing thing. How do you win a NC and end up where Auburn is now so soon?
9. Conversation will start, if we beat UT, that because the sec west is "DOWN" this year, does that diminish it's champion?
10. 17 you auburn. You figured out a way to win and still prove you are a piece of **** team.

Pretty much spot on, but I think Bama is close to as good as they were last year. Yeldon will only get better at RB as the season progresses.

Yeldon is pretty good. Am i the only one though that thinks he runs differently then most typical running backs? Seems like he runs taller or something.

It's not talent with Auburn, they have a freshman QB that's in a new system. Plus, it's much more difficult to go from the spread to a traditional team than I to spread. I agree they're not very good though.

Tennessee is now the game we all thought Auburn would be.

Bama is still head and shoulders above everyone but LSU.

I think UGA and USC are good enough to win the SEC championship.

Don't you have your own board to go to?

IMO, Tennesse is likely going to be the game we thought Arkansas would be...

I personally never thought Auburn would be all that good this year and they aren't but I did think Arkansas would be good and it looks like they aren't all that good either. Thought the Hogs would slip a notch without Petrino around but still could be a 9 to 10 win team. Well its apparent they've slipped much more than that. But Tennessee, who didn't even get bowl eligible last year, looks like they could be significantly better and I think now is likely our toughest game left outside of Bama and LSU.

#8: Rankings don't mean much in some cases, e.g., Arkansas and Virginia Tech. And how do you win a NC and end up where Auburn is now? Because a Cam Newton only comes along about once in a hundred years. We probably would have won the NC with him.

 

[maroonmania]

No doubt Cam Newton was why the won the NC BUT....

they also had a very good experienced OL that year and an All-American like Nick Fairley along their DL. They certainly don't have those things this year along with not having a Cam Newton at QB.

I honestly can't figure out why people aren't buying Bama yet. What else could they have done in their 3 games to make you think they are better? They have completely and utterly dominated all 3 teams.
