You can't blame the polls for underestimating us, though, Auburn really disappointed last year, and we've lost a lot of defensive support since last season due to graduation and early entry into the draft. We have a much more potent and cohesive offense this year, though, and Carnell "Cadillac" Williams is a bonafide Heisman contender. Here's hoping for a 12-0 or 11-1 regular season this year, an SEC Championship, and a BCS Bowl bid.
