    Washington has this one 17-12.

    We create turnovers, stifle their Heisman hopeful QB, malzahn inexplicably goes away from the run which is gashing us, we inexplicably give the ball to Gaskin over and over which wears them out.

    Browning to chin on late 3rd and 5 seels it for us!

    Malzahn goes on Bender and Auburn falls off a cliff.

    AUs DL is 3 deep, they’ll rotate & be fresh in the 4th.

    If you hold the AU team to 12 points, you’ll win the NC.


    Spoiler Alert ....


    You won’t
    Auburn scored 24 against fucking Mercer last year.
    And 26 against Bama. So obviously Mercer's D > Bama's D


    It's a shitload better than just pulling numbers out of your ass. You know as well as the rest of us that playing a team week 1 is a hell of a lot different than playing week 12. "You" played Mercer week 3 last year, which is more relevant to setting an expectation for the UW game than a game played in November.

    Check the thread. I pulled no such numbers out of my very firm and luscious ass.

    Also, we? played Mercer in week 3, right after losing a defensive slugfest at Clemson where the o-line gave up 11 sacks. If you want to look at Week 1, we? scored 41 against Georgia Southern. However, what you're conveniently leaving out is that AU had a QB last year who hadn't played competitive football in nearly two years. So yes, early season adjustments happened last year that I don't expect to see as much of this year which is why you need to look at the end more so than the beginning.

    There's a returning starter at QB, three multi-year starters at WR are back, and the running game has always been Gus's calling card (AU has had 9 straight seasons with a 1,000 rusher). As for defense, dude is right that AU is 9-10 deep on the DL and rotates liberally, so wearing them down isn't likely to happen.

    Said it earlier in the thread that I expect a defensive game with a few big plays on both sides. Don't expect anything more than 24-20 one way or the other.

    Wow .... changing my prediction with said stats .....

    Auburn 37
    UW 17


    Look.... I'm not saying your offense won't score any points. I'm not saying that your offense didn't do well last year. I'm not even saying your offense won't do well this year.



    What I am saying, is that unless you're speaking in hyperbole (I'll help since you're from Alabama - exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally), then you're a fucking retard.























































    Alabama's D was not 3x better than UW, and Georgia's D was not 2x better than UW.





    And no, Alabama math doesn't count.







    Lol, these numbers dont mean shit. Georgia and Bama played an SEC schedule. Love the Pac 12, but its a much easier that the schedule they played.

    SEC > Pac12

    SEC defenses > Pac12 defenses.






    But

    Pac 12 offenses > SEC offenses

    hth

    If SEC defenses are better than Pac 12 defenses, you could argue Pac 12 offenses are only more productive because they play weaker defenses on a regular basis. By this logic, a Pac 12 offense could and probably will look pedestrian to that of the SEC.

    unless every argument acknowledges that the SEC plays 8 conference games, not 9, and has an end of season patsie, your argument is invalid.

    it's unfair and not a level playing field. die.

    I’m not saying pac 12 offenses are more productive. I’m saying they are better. The PAC might only be better than the SEC at one position but that position is QB and it’s much better and it’s the reason SEC offenses are not as elite as their defenses.

    Are the Pac 12 QBs better though? Here's the starting QBs from last year in the NFL at the end of the year. The SEC had 5 former players represented compared to the PAC 12s 4. And before you say "well Goff was hurt", an Oregon State grad replaced him, so still a PAC representative in that space. If you throw in Andrew Luck and Carson Palmer (both injured), then the Pac 12 takes a slight 6-5 edge in starters. Nothing to really write home about though.

    23-13 War Eagle

    Slow start and overall output from offense looks just like it did versus SC/Bama 2016, and Penn State last year. Tre/Caleb/Watty (if healthy and plays) are good enough on OL, but at C/RG we aren't there yet.

    Auburn 0 - UW 25.

    I have done a full inspection of Auburn this offseason. I do not see their offense scoring on us. Fuller has a strong start to his Hiesman campaign. Byron/Myles pick 6 just when Auburn starts putting a drive together play of the game.

    Ehhh, believe it will be in the 20 purnt range. While both defenses exceptional, O’s are as well.

    The NFL isn't a perfect measure of college talent but it's the best objective proxy we have. Here's how the QB position stacks up for the different conferences in the past 5 drafts:

    First Round QBs:

    Pac12 - 5 (Goff/1, Mariota/2, Darnold/3, Rosen/10,
    SEC - 1 (Manziel/22)

    Second day QBs:

    Pac12 - 3 (Webb/87, Kessler/93, Mannion/89)
    SEC - 0

    Third day QBs:

    Pac12 - 3 (Hundley/147, Hogan/162, Falk/199)
    SEC - 8 (Dobbs/135, Dak/135, Murray/163, McCarron/164, Mettenberger/178, Allen/201, Etling/219, Kelly/253)

    Overall QBs:

    Pac12 - 10
    SEC - 9

    Average selection:

    Pac12 - 79.3
    SEC - 163.3

    Despite having two less schools the Pac has had four more first round picks and three more second day picks. The SEC cleans up in the later rounds. The average Pac QB is drafted by pick 80, the average SEC QB 80 picks later.

    Pac QB play has been much better than SEC QB play of late.

    Take this to the 12th man bored

    unless every argument acknowledges that the SEC plays 8 conference games, not 9, and has an end of season patsie, your argument is invalid.

    it's unfair and not a level playing field. die.

    BS. Play 8 gaymes in that conference and get back to me

    I think Harris is going to be an excellent center. Won’t have to pass block on his own as much and can pull like a motherfucker.

    I love when libtards of weak conf say this.

    Fuck conf affiliation ... there are 12 games
    Would you rather play Auburn’s schedule or ANY team in the Pac12????
    4 teams in Top 15, 2 more in Top 25

    you can filibuster it all you want but 8 vs 9 conf games vs teams of comparable talent is a huge fucking deal, as is playing NE Alpine St week 12 before the iron bowl

    If UW can't beat the 3rd best team in the SEC convincingly with a fuckton of seniors that have seen major action since they were freshman starters, shut down the program, demolish the stadium, and turn it into a community pea patch/petting zoo

    You can't discount the "Jake Browning Effect."
