There does not seem to be much consistency when it comes to predicting Auburn Football’s 2022 season.
Several media members within the conference have written off the Tigers by predicting that they will finish dead last in the SEC West. On the other hand, when talking with Bryan Harsin and several players, they have the mindset of playing the role of “spoiler” this season and winning more games than expected.

College Football News has recently chosen the top 10 programs from each program competing in the FBS as part of their season previews.
