ESPN predicts how Auburn will fare in their remaining games
The Auburn Tigers have started the season red hot as they are 17-4 overall and 6-2 in SEC play.
The schedule is going to be tough, with games against Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida still to come. Auburn has a shot to be a highly-ranked team in the NCAA Tournament, but they will need to finish SEC play strong.
Let's take a look at what record ESPN's matchup predictor believes the Auburn Tigers will end up with.
@Ole Miss: Predicted Win- 76% chance to win
Alabama: Predicted Win- 62.4% chance to win
@Florida: Predicted Win- 60% chance to win
South Carolina: Predicted Win- 90.1% chance to win
Kentucky: Predicted Win- 82.2% chance to win
@Georgia: Predicted Win- 77.4% chance to win
@Tennessee: Predicted Loss- 35.9% chance to win
Mississippi State: Predicted Win- 85.1% chance to win
@Missouri: Predicted Win- 85.3% chance to win
Georgia: Predicted Win- 91.6% chance to win
This means the metrics believe the Auburn Tigers will finish the season 26-5 overall and 15-3 in SEC play. There is no doubt that if Auburn does this, they will win the SEC Regular Season Title. The metrics have loved the Auburn Tigers all season long based on how good they have been in all facets of the game.
Auburn will have to win some games in challenging road environments to make this happen, including a rowdy game against Ole Miss coming up later today. The Tigers will look to end the road losing streak with a win in Oxford.
