Fansided’s Cody Williams hit us where it hurts and ranked Auburn football as the seventh-ranked program in the SEC following a second consecutive losing Saturday afternoon.
The War Eagle acknowledges, frequently might I add, that Auburn football is down on its collective luck this season. At 5-4, with two straight losses to Alabama and Texas A&M–not to mention a loss to South Carolina before they fired Will Muschamp–the Tigers don’t deserve to be seen as a top team in the SEC.
That said, it was still jarring and upsetting that FanSided’s Cody Williams was so blunt in his assessment of the state of Auburn football in the context of the SEC at large, ranking them 7th in his conference power rankings:
As much as everyone shouting “War Eagle” doesn’t want to admit it, the Auburn Tigers are more like the Kentucky Wildcats than they are the top-tier teams they would like to consider their peers.
