Auburn Tigers

Auburn 7 – Georgia 13

Auburn lost to Georgia.

The Auburn Tigers worked themselves into the College Football Playoff conversation, and then blew it.

Georgia didn’t even score an offensive touchdown! And they won! Auburn’s offensive juggernaut was supposed to give Alabama fits in the Iron Bowl. This weekend the offense was nothing short of, well, offensive.

I’m at a loss. Last week should have been a warning sign, but I didn’t take it. No one really did, as we all chalked it up to John Franklin III. Instead, though, Gus Malzahn’s seat began warming again.

Impact Moving Forward

-Extreme frustration

Auburn fans didn’t expect a ton this season, but were teased with greatness. Auburn now sits at 7-3 with several quality wins to go along with some head scratchers. Fans on The Plains are growing frustrated with the inconsistencies, but Malzahn is doing plenty enough to keep his job.

Auburn is a prime example of what SEC football is this year, however. Like it or not, SEC football is Alabama and slew of decent-to-good teams in 2016.

Nothing more, nothing less.
