Arguably you can say Auburn has over achieved over the past 30 years.

3 undefeated teams
1 national title
2 championship game appearances
1 Heisman

Probably could of played for two more National Championship under the right circumstances.

Sandwich'd Between Alabama and Georgia

With very good programs over the horizon in Florida Florida State LSU and recently Clemson. All in Auburn's foot print



I wouldn't say Auburn has overachieved or underachieved.

They have great seasons, then absolutely terrible ones. For every amazing team, it's only a couple of years removed from a massive headscratcher of a season.

I'd put Auburn in a Tier 4, the "Roller Coaster" tier, if I were to put them in one at all.

Not too many of those. Only a couple of "terrible" seasons in my 30 years as an Auburn fan and those were 1998 and 2012. Both ended with a coaching change.

Lot's of mediocre seasons though with the occasional great seasons.
