MarlinsGuy 6 Seems high but great recruiting, great o-line, great defense, solid running game, and transfer QB from Baylor coming in at a position they've greatly struggled at

Aeschylus_ 8 50/50 Chance this pick is either too low, or I regret this as they go 8-4 and hover around 25th all year.

mickeyquicknumbers 8 Sure. Count me in as being cautiously aboard the Auburn hype train. After consecutive years of dramatically underperforming (14/15) and one year of just barely performing (2016) I think Auburn finally has the formula for a good season. They landed the most important recruit in the nation last year: a QB who has proven he can thrive in a college offense, and one with (just barely) enough experience to the system Malzahn made his bones with, I think it's more likely than not Pettway/Stidham make Auburns offense electric-ish. The defense will miss Carl Lawson, and I'm still skeptical about the long-term viability of Kevin Steele, but 8th feels right for now.

stripes361 8 Skeptical of this pick? You're in great company! So am I. I don't always rank teams with McLennan transfer QBs in my top 10, but when I do, it's because I love Gus Malzahn. The spread guru should feast on SEC defenses with an Art Briles protege calling the signals, while FPI has bullishly placed the Tigers inside their Top 5. Can Kevin Steele's defense live up to the heady hype?

Our-Gardian-Angel 10 It could be a make-or-break year for Gus Malzahn at Auburn. If the Tigers can survive an early non-conference test against Clemson and a tough SEC slate, the Iron Bowl could once again be a de facto SEC East title game.

Ghost_of_Dude 11 There's been some controversy with people being high on Auburn, but I'm not sure why. They were on a phenomenal late season run until they faced quarterback injuries down the stretch, and with their shiny new Jarrett Stidham now at the helm, they absolutely have the tools to challenge Alabama for the SEC West. However, meeting expectations has been a problem for this team in the past, so they have a lot to prove.

jmac_21 12 Auburn could be on to something this season, if they get steady QB play I expect them to be very good.

Cobainism 13 With playmakers on offense and a defense anchored by LBs Deshaun Davis and Tre Wiliiams, Auburn can soar like a war eagle in the SEC this season. But it all rests on the arm of QB Jason Stidham, who hasn't played in-game action since his Baylor days 2 years ago.
gohuskies 13 Clemson Lite, with more 6-6 potential.

WhiteBaseCoat 15 I'm basically punting on Auburn by sticking them in the middle of the rankings. They're really talented, they've got a hyped-up transfer QB, they have solid experience on both sides of the ball, and they've got a relatively consistent HC in Gus Malzahn (at least, the wheels haven't completely fallen off for him yet). But many of these are things you could say about previous Malzahn teams. They could be awesome, but if neither Stidham nor White can stay healthy, things could also fall apart quickly.
