Tigers didn't lose against 18th rated North Carolina.
Tigers won against #25 (now #20) West Virginia.
Tigers won against #14 Florida (now out but they'll be back)
Of course there will be a game Saturday which will be like a playoff game.
The "Hatter" will need all his magic...he's probably in New Orleans now.
BTW when will Auburn decide between the "War Eagles" and "Tigers"...I've never understood that and would truly like to know what the deal is.
TIGERS is painted in their end zone. I reckon War Eagle is like the second name for the Alabama Pachyderms - Crimson Tide.
This is basically the story I got from an Auburn fan one year at a Texas v. Auburn football game ...
In the first Auburn v. Georgia football game, Auburn was losing. But then an injured confederate soldier let go of is eagle from the war. The eagle flew around the stadium and all the auburn fans started chanting “war eagle”. Auburn came back in the second half to win the very first Auburn/Georgia football game.

I think in the Sagarin LSU might be rated higher than Auburn, I don’t remember. Or the ELO-CHESS part of it. The top 30 I’m talking about is the Sagarin top 30 or the ELO-CHESS part of it. At least LSU gets mentioned in the (endless) talk. Auburn seems to fly under the radar. Maybe because they can’t make up their minds about a nickname....?
We are the Tigers. We are not the War Eagles. War Eagle is what we say as in “War Eagle!” It is our fight song and the name of our Eagle.
To confuse you further, we are also called The Plainsmen, because Auburn and Auburn, Alabama were named for an Oliver Goldsmith poem. The first line is “Sweet Auburn, loveliest village on the plain.” Auburn is still referred to as the ‘loveliest village on the plains.’
