Auburn will likely be able to easily handle FCS Alcorn State in week one and if they can come out victorious in their neutral-site matchup against North Carolina, the Tigers will enter conference play 2-0.
In 2018 Auburn traveled to Oxford and was able to handle Ole Miss fairly easily but last season, Auburn came out sluggish at home and were lucky to come out with a win.
2020 marks a new beginning for the Rebels as it is the first year under former Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin as he looks to revitalize a team that won just four games last season
Kiffin had previous stops in the SEC as the head coach at Tennessee and the offensive coordinator at Alabama with mixed results overall.
