I think the committee perceives the SEC as a weak conference.
Looks like Auburn moved down in seeding priority for winning the SEC tourney. Must be the last of the 4 seeds. Surprised they didn't slip to 5 or 6. Habe to travel to Spokane, WA and also have to potentially play against the best 1 seed and best 2 seed. I wouldn't evem want to play San Diego st in the 2nd round. Going to be a road game for them. I'm guessing the SEC is perceived by the committee as a weak conference. Won't matter anyway, since it will likely be a 2nd round exit for them anyway.
Auburn must have been considered the last of the number 4 seeds considering their placement against the top 1 and top 2 seed. Also, it looks like they got the farthest location away from home as possible too. I think Auburn moved down, honestly, after their showing in the SEC tournament. SEC must be considered a weak conference by the committee.
Ashford wont be sneaking up on anyone or any team, when it comes to passing. He will also most likely get worse results running the ball as the season progresses. Not saying Thorne is the guy to beat….only that Ashford is not the guy to beat. When he’s in the game, add a spy on Ashford with some minor modifications to the defense, and you will stop him.
Turned the corner? Not sure anyone believes that to begin with. We will likely never know how bad or good Bo Nix should have been as a college QB, because Auburn’s OL has been terrible, and will still be terrible for at least 2 more years, which will be Nix’s entire tenure at Auburn. From what I have seen and still see currently, Bo is below average thrower, with above average scrambling ability. The OL certainly does him no favors too. Bo will be not much different than he is now, so I’m not even sure there will ever be a corner that BO could turn. All he can do now is listen to the coaches, try to prevent turnovers. I’ve given up on the deep ball from Nix, which is sad, b.c. that is they key to help this offense. I have a hope that Auburn can get lucky and get 1 TD in the game, maybe even an early one….but the UGA D will win the battles and destroy the Auburn OL and running game. With no ability to throw farther than 15 yards down field, AU will be punting a lot. If Auburn’s D can put forth a respectable showing and maybe force a turnover, they could possibly keep it to within 17 pts, but I’m not holding my breath. I expect UGA to beat us by at least 21. Gary Danielson is going to be a fun one to listen to talking the whole game about how UGA will match up to Alabama in SECCG!(Yes that is being facetious)
Yup. If he hasn’t changed yet, I don’t see him ever changing. He continues to call plays as if Auburn has an offensive line that knows how to hold their own in run blocking. We just can’t run block that well. I mean Auburn even pulled a guard on a 1 yard to gain play call.....and of course it did not work. The OL is serviceable in pass blocking I would say but Bo has to get better with his pocket presence. Also, the substitutions we make with packaged personnel are still leading to predictable play calls. I’m sure LSU, UGA, and BAMA are all going to have an easy time figuring out what play is coming. Hate to say it, but in a Baton Rouge, I give Auburn a less than 10% chance of winning vs this LSU team. I just want to see Auburn be competitive against this great looking LSU team on the road.
Purchased? please explain with details what you discovered that the NCAA was not able to uncover over an 18 month on-campus investigation into the entire Auburn athletic program. They found not a single infraction in the entire program, not even a minor infraction. Paying almost a half million dollars to a JUCO QB who had a criminal record and already had been dismissed from 1 SEC school, yeah that makes sense.
