Auburn and Ole Miss have traded places if you consider the true top 8 programs in the SEC in the NIL era.

---

Auburn is 35-12 all-time against Ole Miss and has more championships of all flavors. Two wins over Auburn with zero titles to show for in the past forever is not even a drop in the bucket of what it would take to supplant that spot.

Anyone have the current student populations/enrollments? I guess inclusive of grad schools numbers.

43,900- Georgia

23,200- Miss State
20,800- Ole Miss
13,600- Vanderbilt

Absolute coaching malpractice. What in the world is Corbin thinking???

Holy pivot lol. All time dodge just then

So you making a comment about Stephen Pearl and me responding is a “dodge” ? Your hillbilly schoolhouse education has done you a disservice because you clearly don’t understand what a pivot or a dodge is.

Look bud… I get watching Auburn go on a 6-year skid is like fresh meat to a hungry pitbull who is desperate to try to cope in the midst of his own team’s TWENTY-ONE season skid, but you may want to set your sights on the Mississippi State’s, the Missouri’s, and the South Carolina’s of the world if you want to win any arguments.

Tennessee has gone TWENTY-SEVEN seasons without an SEC Title… TWENTY-EIGHT since a national title. Your pathetic excuse of a football program is 1-7 against Auburn since the turn of the century and has had to watch Auburn win a national title, play for a second, and win 3 SEC titles since the last time you sniffed a chance to.

Auburn has indeed had it rough lately but the one solace in all this is at least we aren’t Tennessee.

Auburn University: ~45.9%
University of Alabama: ~77%–80%

There was a time when there wasn’t much of a difference between Auburn and Alabama. But about 20 years ago Bama went with the strategy of becoming a diploma mill for northerners too dumb to get into the bigger state schools up there, and Auburn went with Southern culture and quality over quantity and it’s led to where we are now.

I hear everyday about friends’ kids wishing they could go to Auburn but having to settle for Alabama.

quote:

---

Never said they were but Auburn skipped 50 years of playing Bamas 3rd and 4th best hall of fame head coaches

---

And they skipped out on most of the Donahue era when Auburn was easily a Top 2-3 program in the South between 1908-1922. It goes both ways.

quote:

---

yall didnt win a single conference title in that 50 years drought While Bama won 8.

---

What the literal F are you talking about??

Auburn won SIAA titles in 1908, 1910, 1913, 1914, and 1919 and won a SoCon title in 1932. That’s six.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Nice movement of the goalposts there. What took you an hour to type up could simply be summarized with one stat:

All time win% against Alabama:

Auburn- 41.7%
Tennessee- 40.7%

You’re literal quote:

quote:

---

Idk how old you are but unless you only lived from 2010 to 2020, I guess that was the only time Auburn has been more competitive with Bama than Tennessee.

---

Reality check: Auburn has been more competitive against Bama ALL TIME.

Sorry you don’t like facts.

Oh and while we’re at it, Auburn leads the all-time series against Tennessee 29-22-3.

LOL.

quote:

---

In state rivals are little brothers like what Auburn is to bama and the Aggies to Texas. Out of state rivalries tend to be border states that have much more equal programs. Thats what Tennessee is to Bama

---

Compare how Auburn has performed against Bama to how Tennessee has performed against Bama for a period longer than 5 years and you’ll see that in all of our lifetimes Auburn has been by far the bigger test to Bama of the two.

This is just plain hillbilly ignorance.

Here are how teams rank in terms of number of wins against the current RPI Top 25:

10- Alabama, Texas
9- Auburn
8- Georgia, Arkansas, Ole Miss
7- Kansas, Tennessee, Florida
6- Georgia Tech, Texas A&M, Virginia
5- UCLA, N. Carolina, Florida St.

The top 6 teams in the country in terms of # of big wins are all from the SEC…. And 9 of the Top 12.

A more accurate picture of a teams resume might be this…

RPI Top 25 Wins minus Losses Outside the Top 25:

+6 Auburn, Texas
+4 Ole Miss, Texas A&M
+2 Georgia, Georgia Tech
+1 Arkansas, Florida, N Carolina, UCLA
-1 Florida St, Miss St
-2 Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Tennessee
-3 Kansas, Miami
-4 USC, Virginia
-5 Wake Forest
-6 Kentucky, Oregon St.

FYI, Vandy is -7, LSU -8, Missouri -9, and South Carolina is -10.

For the record, there are at-large teams in the projected field that have a +/- of -12.

The SEC deserves at least 8 hosts… probably 9 but I doubt they give that to us… and FYI at least 13 teams deserve a bid, arguably 14.

Alabama beat Washington to win their first national championship. But more importantly it changed the perception of Southern football teams.

---

This is the most over exaggerated myth that exists in all of college football. Washington was an upstart themselves and beating them meant nothing. The myth of “Southern football finally getting respect because the Rose Bowl” was manufactured sometime in the 1980s around the same time bama created a bunch of fake national titles to try to counter the historic appeal that Notre Dame had the market on in those days.

Georgia Tech’s 1917 team was far more widely regarded in that day as the best team the South had ever produced. They were proclaimed as the best team in the country by the New York Times a full decade before Alabama road a train out west to beat a literal upstart from the Pacific Northwest with zero program history or prestige at that point.
