No SEC program likes to toy with the emotions of their fan base quite like the Auburn Tigers. If a recent ESPN panel is to be believed, that proud tradition will continue into the upcoming season.

ESPN college football writers Andrea Adelson, Edward Aschoff, Chris Low, Adam Rittenberg and Jake Trotter were all asked a series of questions during a recent roundtable article over at ESPN.com. While the writers gave unique answers to most questions asked of them, one question asked of all five writers produced the same answer.

Which top-10 team is most likely to end the season unranked?

They each answered Auburn for various reasons. Noting the losses on the offensive line, the coaching of Gus Malzahn and the brutal schedule facing the Tigers in 2018, every writer picked the Tigers to be the most likely candidate to disappoint in 2018.

Do you agree?
