This is the fourth time ever that these teams have played each other with the most recent meeting occuring in 2009. Auburn is undefeated in this series and its largest margin of victory (63-3) over the Cardinals took place in 2005.
The Tigers have already announced three-fourths of their nonconference schedule for the 2025 season. They will begin the season on the road against Baylor to mark the beginning of a home-and-home matchup against the Bears. Auburn will also host South Alabama at Jordan Hare in 2025.
Also worth noting is that these three games have been scheduled consecutively. At Baylor on August 30, vs. Ball State September 6, and vs. South Alabama September 13. The Tigers will only face one nonconference opponent throughout their slate of conference games against Georgia, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Alabama at home and Arkansas, LSU, Tennessee, and Texas A&M on the road.
