What is there to say about the Auburn Tigers through five weeks?

AU has the best resume in college football, as it’s the only team in the nation to have beaten two current top 25 teams: Oregon and Texas A&M. At least one analyst has Auburn No. 1 in the nation right now.

Now, however, the page turns from September to October and then November. The next two months are absolutely brutal for the Tigers. Games against top 10 opponents saturate the schedule: Florida, LSU, Georgia and Alabama. Two of those games Auburn is the favorite (Florida and Georgia), but two others it isn’t (LSU and Alabama).

Auburn may have the nation’s top overall front seven headlined by Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson, and the offense is just starting to hit its stride with freshman Bo Nix and the talented cast around him. It gets tough Saturday, however, with a road trip to Gainesville to take on the Gators.

How will Auburn finish out the season? ESPN’s Football Power Index updated its projections following week five. Here’s a week-by-week look for the Tigers:

  • October 5 at Florida (53.2 percent win probability)
  • October 19 at Arkansas (95.2 percent)
  • October 26 at LSU (37.9 percent)
  • November 2 vs. Ole Miss (93.9 percent)
  • November 16 vs. Georgia (53.6 percent)
  • November 23 vs. Samford (99.3 percent)
  • November 30 vs. Alabama (34.5 percent)
