8. Auburn Tigers
Week 1 Ranking: 10
Week 1 Result: 38-24 win @ Baylor
Auburn is one of the teams that has the best chance to shock the SEC world this season, and the Tigers got off to a great start this season by winning 38-24 at Baylor. To be fair, the Bears aren't that great of a program, but winning on the road during week one against a power four opponent is a big deal.
Auburn is going to have their chances to prove they can compete in the SEC this season, and it really wouldn't be surprising to see them in the race to get to Atlanta at the end of the season. The Tigers have two easy home games up next before they hit the road in week four to begin their campaign to prove to the world they still belong with the best in this conference.
Week 2 Opponent: Ball State
