Thought we MIGHT have gotten a shot at a higher position in the final poll but ultimately, a top 10 finish is great. It should be a good springboard for next season. Auburn is losing Cam as well as virtually their entire O-line and a couple of starters from defense. Stanford returns Luck, but who they bring in as coach and if their system remains the same will be something to watch. We should/could be top 6 to start the year next season.
Im happy with being #8, It sets up nicely for next season. Tigers will open the season with a #3 or #5 Oregon. If LSU beats the ducks the tigers will be looking good for the the start of the SEC schedule.
