Auburn football prepares for rivalry matchups this season

Summary

Auburn football is set to face several rivalries in the upcoming season following the SEC's new nine-game schedule model. The Iron Bowl against Alabama and the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry against Georgia are key matchups for the Tigers, who have struggled historically, winning just three times in their last ten games against these programs. Coach Alex Golesh's inaugural season will feature additional competitors like Florida and LSU, marking the return of these rivals after a significant hiatus. Significant preparations are underway as Auburn addresses its upcoming challenging schedule, aiming to improve past performances.
