9. Auburn
Coach:
Tommy Tuberville
Last year:
11-2. The Tigers beat Nebraska 17-14 in the Cotton Bowl.
Offense:
Tuberville will build the offense around Brandon Cox, who enters his third season as starting quarterback. Running back Kenny Irons, now playing in the NFL, will be tough to replace, and four of five offensive linemen will be first-year starters. Tuberville has recruited well, however, and lots of talented young players are ready to make their mark.
Defense:
The Tigers have a strong front seven who will be in attack mode most of the time. Opponents will have to double-team defensive end Quentin Groves to keep him out of the backfield. The kicking game will feel the loss of punter Kody Bliss and placekicker John Vaughn.
Schedule:
Auburn's ability to win on the road will be the key to a successful season. The Tigers travel to Florida, Arkansas, LSU and Georgia.
Prediction:
9-3
