He was coaching Tulane… do you think a young coach at Tulane, should have a winning record versus ranked teams?


Nope, but I do think he should prove he can win a big game before he goes around and acts like he's Bear Bryant reincarnated.

They made the SECC game in ‘16, ‘17 and ‘20, having to face Alabama each time. AU hasn’t been since winning in ‘13.


Auburn went in 2017.

Oh gosh... the list for Auburn is long.

2013 FSU loss is most gut-wrenching loss in AU history but my daughter was 3 weeks old so I missed it. Pretty sure I've been in attendance at a the other most gut-wrenching games if the past 40 years. I'd rank them:

Loss to Bama 2023
Loss to Bama 2021
Loss to Bama 2025
Loss to A&M 2014
Loss to LSU 2007
Loss to Georgia 2002
Loss to Bama 1996
Loss to LSU 2005
Loss to LSU 2018
Loss to Georgia 2025
Loss to Bama 2014
Loss to Florida 2002
Loss to Penn St 2022
Your team is 1-7 against Auburn this century.

Jon Sumrall and Alex Golesh have the exact same number of wins against ranked teams - 2. Sumrall has won 25% of his games against ranked opponents, Golesh has won 33% of his.


Oh ok. So Golesh has faired better?

Also just one of those two has made an arse of himself on multiple occasions this summer... and it isn't Golesh.

Can Tennessee say they have a similar streak?


No their last Top 5 finish was way back in 2001. Probably their last also tbh

Print the cups bro lol


I might just do that, seeing that I can. Guess you don't have that ability.

If you are having to put this word as justification then you already in behind.


Tennessee fans think only ancient history should be counted. Florida fans think only relatively recent history should be counted. Meanwhile Auburn is one of just two programs to have a AP Top 5 finish in ever completed decade since the 1950s

1950s: Auburn #1 in 1957; #4 in 1958
1960s: Auburn #5 in 1963
1970s: Auburn #5 in 1972
1980s: Auburn #3 in 1983
1990s: Auburn #4 in 1993
2000s: Auburn #2 in 2004
2010s: Auburn #1 in 2010; #2 in 2013

We've got four seasons to keep the streak alive. Only Notre Dame can claim the same. Not Bama, not Oklahoma. Not Ohio State. Just Notre Dame and Auburn.
Please do. It will make Auburn's move of claiming past titles *slightly* less embarrassing.

What has Aggie ever done to be viewed ahead of Arkansas and Ole Miss?


Aggie should for sure be ahead of those two. Just say you don't know CFB history.
Pretty fair list overall. Honestly I think you nailed it 1-16.

I think Florida is the toughest to peg. You probably have them in the right spot... but literally ALL of their accomplishments were 1990-2008. They packed quite a punch in those 19 seasons but the rest of their history has been about as mediocre to subpar as a program could be.

Also, as much shite as Tennessee gets, Florida is getting close to hitting 2 decades of irrelevancy.

Yes, I know Auburn has struggled as of late, but we're 13 years removed from playing for a national title, and 9 years removed from being ranked #2 going into SEC Championship weekend.... that's far closer to present day than anything UF or TN can claim.

Is this HC worthy? Just say the weight room layout needed some tweaking and we've done it, No need to go down the rabbit hole. Geez...


It's like he's cosplaying as some tough guy head coach while his all time record against ranked opponents is abysmal. So glad we dodged that bullet. His entire demeanor looks completely fake... like he's acting more than naturally being a coach.
quote:

For me, Tennessee-Alabama.


Well that just shows how far Tennessee has fallen.
Imagine giving it all up just to somehow afford a coach who's never won an SEC title. Wild.

Kids can’t get into Auburn these days? Auburn used to be everyone’s backup school.


Not anymore. Auburn had a below 50% acceptance rate.
quote:

Having double majored in finance and accounting I wonder why you would assume that. Auburn as far as accounting goes isn’t any swift breeze.


I had loads of Accounting Major friends at Auburn. One is a parter at PwC in Atlanta. One is a partner at EY Charlotte. Another a partner at EY Dallas. Two are partners at EY Birmingham. And those are just the ones that didn't leave a big 4 firm to go be a CFO someplace.

It always baffles me when bama people want to pretend their business school is superior to Auburn's. There's a reason why the average Auburn grad makes more money than the average Bama grad.
quote:

I doubt that greatly.


We'll find me one then. I live in Birmingham. Every year I have friends tell me their kid couldn't get into Auburn but got into Bama. Never the other way around.

It's like comparing Georgia and Georgia Southern. Can you prove that Georgia Southern ever rejected a kid that got into Georgia. No you can't. But you also just know it's never happened. Same deal here.

If a kid gets rejected by Bama they for sure get rejected by Auburn.
quote:

I always thought Alabama was a better school than Auburn.


Well it isn't. At least based on pretty much every measure available.

There hasn't been a single kid accepted to Auburn but rejected by Bama in the last 30 years.
