That being said I can't ever recall seeing a BCS team with such an apparently easy schedule before the season starts, maybe except for some Big East teams or ACC teams in 08 when EVERYONE was garbage
Even if we go 12-0 I wouldn't be surprised if a one loss team got in over us. I'm really hoping that those teams have a good year and end up ranked.

VTech going undefeated... VTech!!!
Anyone else looking impressive? The only thing I've heard out of SC so far is that Farmer has been meh to this point.
USC Fall Camp in a nutshell
Spoiler [+]QB- Barkley is the starter. Freshmen Cody Kessler beat out Max Wittek for the backup job by a hair, still think it's Scroggins spot despite his thumb injury.
RB- Baxter has been solid throughout camp, consistent, no flash. Curtis McNeal, DJ Morgan and Amir Carlisle have shown highlight stuff type flashes but is short lived.
FB- Rhett Ellison got moved from TE and has been very impressive, great Senior leader as well. Soma will take a back seat.
TE- Junior Pomee was lost for the season with a broken foot, he was redshirting anyway. No one has stood out at TE enough to runaway with the position.
OL- A lot of instability at the guard spots, solid at LT (Kalil) and C (Holmes), everything else is a crapshoot. Hope it gels. Aundrey Walker is a man child, he's huge.
WR- Lots of talent here. Woods will build on what he did last year despite a nagging ankle injury. He's just that good. The star WR of camp, surprisingly, has been Marqis Lee, Farmers Serra teammate that everyone on the defensive side of the ball. Brice Butler will probably win the #2 spot, and Lee will get plenty of time to shine. Ambles is gone due to academic issues. Farmer hasn't shined the way everyone expected, coaches still expect big things from him. Prater, same as Farmer, with the exception being that injuries keep holding him back.
DL- This group is going to make some noise. Freshman Charles Burks was looking great after being switched from FB, unfortunately he is out for the year. Moving Kennard back to DE was a move that a lot of folks have been pining for and it finally happened. A healthy Nick Perry and Christian Tapou, along with Kennard, Harris, Horton, Townsend and Uko. It's a pretty deep and impressive group.
LB- Lamar Dawson looks impressive just by walking on the field,. Shane Horton has been solid throughout camp on the weakside, Galippo has been bothered by a shoulder injury so the middle might be weak unless they throw Dawson in the fire. Hopefully Hayes Pullard steps up as well, haven't heard much about Anthony Sarao.
DB- Nickell Robey, kid is just a stud. Solid camp, right mindset, great work ethic, hope he builds on his surprising 2010. The corner spot opposite Robey is still up in the air. Same can be said about TJ McDonald, with the other safety spot also being up in the air.
ST- Looks like we finally got a kicker in Andre Heidari
That's pretty much fall camp in a nutshell. The Defense is looking leaps and bounds better than last year. They look hungry and our DLinemen seem to be healthy.

Less susceptible to the fade route, still hate it though. Especially inside the 5.

CBS blog says Miami Herald will repoot that 12 Miami players will be ruled ineligible so that the NCAA will hopefully make a ruling on them before the season starts to avoid risking further penalties by playing them outright.
If true then smart by Miami going the Auburn way how they did it with Cam, even though the NCAA contradicted themselves.

Gunna, I had something typed up to defend that loss but I just can't.
All I'll say is teams lose focus and drop games they shouldn't; it happens. Bama lost to UL-Monroe in Saban's first year and the next year they went 12-0 in the regular season. Hell, in 09 they woulda lost to your Vols if not for Cody's blocked field goals. Auburn would have lost to Clemson in the very first game last year if not for a bonehead penalty on Clemson's snapper. I don't think we'll go undefeated but nothing that happened last year makes it any less likely. If anything they learned not to take any opponent lightly. Also remember nobody said our squad was that good this year, just that the schedule was cake.
If you wanna talk about past teams choking late in the season (where the only thing in common with this year's team is the coaching staff), then you'd also have to bring up the team that went undefeated and played for a title wouldn't you? Wouldn't a coaching staff that's done it before be better equipped to handle it again?
We've gone 43-8 in Oct/Nov since joining the ACC in 2004. Not exactly choke city there, aside from the game where I had to sprint home
Speaking of losses to teams you have no business losing to...
I'll be sure to mention these games to you in the future if you ever think you guys might run the table
(your reasoning, not mine)

BUT because its trips and your playing with little space to work with on that side things can be tricky
So in Bama's case the best thing to do is play zone wit no Safety over top which they did.....when the ball is snapped they barely move which leads me to think they was already in there assigned zone
But we all know zones have #*%% which is how LSU squeezed that ball in there
Good defensive call but me being a CB in real life I would have signaled for 2 of the DBs to come up and play 2 yards off & shade inside
