Look, we’re not going to retrieve our pitchforks and take to the streets to complain about Auburn football being excluded from the first coaches’ poll of the 2021 season.
The lack of success during the 2020 season coupled with what many consider to be an underwhelming recruiting class in 2021 equals an Auburn football program left with nowhere to sit during musical chairs.
That said, this may be right where most Tiger fans want the rest of the sport. Auburn is best as an underdog, and just about everyone is writing off Bryan Harsin in his first season on the Plains and in the Power Five.
