    I'm taking them against USC opening week.

    I admit I'm still skeptical of their ability to throw a forward pass. You have to wonder how long they can get away with run, run, run. But if they find a bit of a passing game? Sure. I can see a very good season.

    Thats a tough schedule and they aren't good enough to go undefeated against those teams. Auburn is really talented but won't make it through that schedule...

    I like Oklahoma because they should handle Bama and UCLA early and roll till they get to Texas. I think Oklahoma will win that one (being played in Dallas) and beat anyone in the Big 12 title game too.

    Probably need to win 2 to 3 tough games to win the national championship.

    they say their new juco rb will be the best rb on the team the minute he steps on campus. he's like 6'4" 255 and runs a 4.4 40, he's a beast basically.

    but like y'all said, sometimes you just need to throw it forwards. sometime during the year, some team will jump out to a lead on them or they are gonna be in a tight game and need to score and won't be able to run run run, and i don't know if jason campbell can win a game with his arm. plus, that sched is brutal. another problem w/auburn is that they have 4 great tailbacks, so what? only 1 of them can run the ball at a time, and there are only so many carries to go around so what's the point?

    i think the west will come down to ark, aub, and lsu...with arkansas beating auburn, auburn beating lsu, and lsu beating arkansas. ole miss will sneak up and beat some teams and of course alabama can't be overlooked.
