1. Auburn only returns 13 starters from last year's team.

2. That team lost 4 games last year.

Win this damn game Pete.

    1) Who cares how many starters return? For example, some of those lost starters are on the D-line. AU rotates 8-9 there without a drop off. The starting RT was an all-conference player at another school last year. Returning starters is highly over-rated without context.

    2) Half of the losses were to teams in the CFP. And that team still beat two of the four CFP participants in the regular season and was #2 in the country heading into conference championship weekend. Not like they were total dog crap. Remind me again, how many CFP teams played last season? And if we're talking 2017 losses, I present to you Arizona State.

    With that, UW probably wins because we'll pull a classic Auburn move and get totally dominated on a big stage.
