History of the Auburn Tiger Football Team

For many years Auburn was considered to be “that other football team in Alabama.” Some people might even think the Auburn Tigers were a somewhat new team but they’ve been playing down on the plains since 1892. They’ve just been overshadowed by the University of Alabama, of course when Alabama has the most National Championships in college football and Auburn hasn’t won one yet, you can see how that could happen. But the truth is Auburn has been one of the elite programs for a very long time. In 1957 the Auburn Tigers had their first undefeated season. Since that year Auburn is 10th among all colleges in wins, ranking ahead of the likes of Florida, Notre Dame, Georgia, and Miami. Overall Auburn has a lifetime record of 364 – 169 – 11, been to 26 bowl games and had two Heisman trophy winners. A lot of people would even say that Auburn is the best college football program that hasn’t won a National Championship.
