247Sports predicts last-place finish
Final Record: 5-7 (2-6)
SEC West Standing: 7th
What Brad Crawford Says…
Coming out of the tumultuous month of February, who is a believer in Auburn right now as a contender in the SEC West next season? There are simply too many questions across the board on The Plains to think next year’s team could be better than the 2021 version under Bryan Harsin. The schedule is one of the nation’s most difficult with Penn State coming to Jordan-Hare to finish up the home-and-home and there are road games against the top two teams in the country — Georgia and Alabama.
SEC West Final Standings Prediction
- Alabama Crimson Tide: 12-0 (8-0)
- Texas A&M Aggies: 10-2 (6-2)
- Arkansas Razorbacks: 9-3 (5-3)
- Ole Miss Rebels: 8-4 (4-4)
- LSU Tigers: 8-4 (4-4)
- Mississippi State Bulldogs: 7-5 (3-5)
- Auburn Tigers: 5-7 (2-6)
Based on the predictions for the upcoming season, only Auburn, the Missouri Tigers, and Vanderbilt Commodores come away with overall losing records in the SEC.
