Auburn football players huddle up during warm ups before Auburn football A-Day spring game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, April 17, 2021.
While it seems to be widely agreed upon that Arkansas has the most difficult schedule in college football heading into the 2021 season, there seems to be a little disparity when it comes to Auburn football’s standing. Fly War Eagle reported a couple of months ago that ESPN’s College Football Power Index ranked the Tigers’ schedule as the second toughest in the nation, while PFF sticks Auburn at spot #8.
PFF’s list is populated by five SEC teams, three Big-10 teams, and two teams from the ACC.
