Auburn Tigers National Championship Odds
The Auburn Tigers are entering into a pivotal season, as coach Gus Malzahn aims to prove he can get the program back into the country’s elite. Auburn took a step back in 2018 and another poor showing in the SEC would not be good news for Malzahn. There is talent on this roster but the quarterback spot has a big question mark. The schedule is tough once again so the Tigers will need to navigate it well in order to be in the College Football Playoff conversation in 2019.
2019 Auburn Tigers at a Glance
Tigers National Championship Odds: 30/1
Tigers Odds To Win SEC: +2700
Tigers Regular Season Win Total: 8.5
Auburn went just 8-5 a season ago, winning three of eight games in SEC play before knocking off the Purdue Boilermakers in the Music City Bowl. The Tigers had Jarrett Stidham at quarterback and he threw for 2,794 yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions, but he is in the NFL now as a fourth-round pick of the New England Patriots. There is an open competition to replace him at quarterback, with the hope being that four-star freshman Bo Nix can win the job to begin a fruitful career with Auburn. The defense has plenty of talented pieces, and the group got star defensive tackle Derrick Brown back when he decided to pass on entering the draft this season. Auburn has some good pieces with which to work but must be firing on all cylinders because it opens the year with a tough game against the Oregon Ducks. Auburn ends the season with four straight home games, so if it can stay in the national championship conversation to that point, the Tigers will feel good about their chances.

Auburn has one of the most successful football programs in NCAA history, yet they remain a distant second in terms of popularity to their in-state rival Alabama. Both schools joined the SEC for its inaugural season in 1933 and have remained for the duration, but Auburn always plays second fiddle to its big brother despite its lofty win total.
The program reached a period of continued success under Ralph Jordan in the early 1950s. The Tigers reached three straight Gator Bowls and had back-to-back undefeated seasons, going 10-0 with a national championship in 1957 and 9-0-1 in 1958. Jordan coached the team for 25 years, amassing a record 175 victories. Pat Dye had a successful run through the 1980s, taking Auburn to nine straight bowl games with a then-school record 11 wins during an undefeated 1993 season.
With Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton running the offense, the Tigers went a perfect 14-0 and won the National Championship in the 2010 season. In the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world of college football, Gene Chizik was fired two years later after a 3-9 campaign, opening the door for Malzahn. In his first season Malzahn won 12 games, beat Alabama and took the Tigers to the BCS title game only to lose to Florida State. However, he has not found as much success of late and is hoping for a resurgence in 2019. A player like Newton won’t be walking through the door, but if Auburn can get solid quarterback play it could have a dangerous team.
