Auburn's last win vs. a Power 5 team that finished with a winning record came vs. Ole Miss on Oct. 30, 2021.
Since then, Auburn lost 17 such matchups in a row.
They stopped playing football in 2019.
2020 - 6-5
2021 - 6-7
2022 - 5-7
2023 - 6-7
This decade of barner football would make Doug Barfield proud.

I had lunch with an Auburn man yesterday. Had a great time together talking old times. We didn’t talk sports very much but I asked him one question. Was he satisfied with the direction Auburn football was heading?
His answer was that he felt that something was going on with the overall program that didn’t feel right. He said the thing which separated the two teams was that everyone who had anything to do with the Alabama football program pulled in the same direction. If a mistake was made in anyway that problem was solved and the program moved forward. Saban made sure of that. At Auburn that may not be the case. He was hopeful for Auburn’s success but that the jury was still out.

the sad truth is that AU football is at a historic low point
- first 4-game IB losing streak since 1981
- most consecutive sub-.500 seasons since 1975-77
-most losses in four-year period since 1949-52
- most consecutive seasons with 7 or more losses since 1927-30
-longest losing streak to UGa since 1923-31
the real question for AU is if it’s possible for Freezus to turn it around and get back to AU’s traditional “mostly good, sometimes great, with an occasional awful year thrown in at random” performance trend
if im totally honest, i don’t think he can
YMMV
