There is just over one month until the college football season kicks off, and many experts across the nation are occupying their time by predicting the final win-loss records of SEC teams (as well as playing EA Sports College Football 25).
Auburn football was projected to finish No. 10 in the SEC according to the media who attended SEC Media Days in Dallas last week, so it does not come as a surprise that SEC Unfiltered’s Chris Phillips projects the Tigers to finish with a 7-5 record in 2024.
However, Phillips has caused quite a stir with Auburn fans due to the losses he predicts Auburn to take.
Phillips expects Auburn to lose to College Football Playoff contenders Alabama and Georgia on the road, which is a fair prediction. He does, however, project Auburn to lose road games at Missouri and Kentucky while winning home games against Oklahoma and Texas A&M. Phillips’ most head-scratching prediction is Auburn losing to Arkansas at Jordan-Hare Stadium to open SEC play in late September.
As expected, Phillips’ prediction of Auburn football’s season has baffled Tigers’ fans. Here’s a look at the best reactions to SEC Unfiltered’s projection of Auburn football’s 2024 season.
Predicting a loss to Arkansas is quite a choice
Make it make sense
I just wanna know why
Anything can happen!
It may not be too wild of a pick afterall
Beating OU & A&M
Losing to ARK & UKIt’s Auburn football this isn’t too far fetched… but so backwards https://t.co/d7HSnZZw7P

It is a wild thought
What’s this about Auburn being Auburn?
The world may know of Cam Coleman after this one
An offense full of Walmart greeters put up 517 yards and 48 points on Arkansas last year… ON THE ROAD 😭😭😭 Cam Coleman dead ass may score 4 touchdowns himself against those bums 💀💀💀 https://t.co/m3O6Hvuea3

Pittman could salvage his job if he pulls this off
Could this game mark the end of the Pittman era?
Arkansas will need a Sermon on the Mount type moment to beat Auburn at JHS. This clown thought “well, they HAVE to get 6 wins” and decided Auburn was the spot. Their head coach has his office packed up already, they aren’t winning this game. https://t.co/xs1Uv4E1sT

At the end of the day, it only matters if you win
Personally, takes like this don’t bother me. Opinions like this are based on performance, and until we win more games then we lose things like this will continue to hit our feeds https://t.co/bNh9Bk0OfM
