CBS predicts Auburn football will finish 2026 season 7-5 under Golesh

CBS Sports' Brad Crawford forecasts a 7-5 record for Auburn football in 2026 during head coach Alex Golesh's first year. Crawford expects the Tigers to win their first five games, including a victory over Tennessee on the road, before facing tough losses against Georgia and Alabama later in the season. The prediction suggests Auburn will qualify for the Gasparilla Bowl, marking a turnaround from previous seasons that saw the team struggle significantly. Goals for the season include establishing Golesh's offensive philosophy and demonstrating the team's talent amid significant roster changes.
