Honestly, I have met plenty of AU fans that think they will win the National Title. I have also met many AU fans that they think are a lock for the SEC but not National Title. I think many AU fans are playing down the NC because deep down they know that IF they lose 1 game, everyone will come crashing down on them for choking away the NC.
AU could still win the National title with 1 loss. In College football it is still important WHEN you lose if you do lose. A loss Week 1 is a lot better than a loss in the season finale.
I see us loosing two games...our schedule is just too tough. BUT, if we have HALF the luck that uga had last year, we win it ALL!
