Auburn Tigers

Most media outlets project Auburn to finish somewhere between 6-6 and 9-3 this season.

After a disappointing 5-7 campaign in 2022, the Tigers are projected to improve underneath new head coach Hugh Freeze. Freeze has worked wonders during his first few months on the Plains, knocking it out of the park on the recruiting trail as well as through the transfer portal.

College football expert Tony Barnhart sat down with Zac Blackerby and Darrell Dapprich of the Locked On Auburn podcast to discuss Hugh Freeze and how he thinks the Tigers' season will go.

According to Barnhart, there are more questions about Auburn than anything else.

“Usually, Hugh Freeze's track record is that once he gets the quarterback situation figured out, it usually tends to go pretty well," Barnhart said. "What I'm going to be fascinated by is when the media votes later on this week and they announce it, I think it'll be Friday when they announce it, they're going to be close to the bottom because you just go through and you get more questions about Auburn than anything else. All I know is it's usually not a good sign when you add a quarterback after spring practice. I mean, they did it, Alabama did it, and so that's going to be a fascinating thing to watch. I don't see Auburn finishing last in the division. I just think they have enough talent to do better, but so does Arkansas, so does Mississippi State, so does Ole Miss, so does LSU. It's going to be a tough division”.
