A good confidence boost is all the Auburn Tigers need entering Week1 of college football season. ESPN's latest FPI rankings give them exactly that.
Auburn heads to Waco, Texas, to take on the Baylor Bears for its season-opening game this Saturday. Opinions stand divided on which team will have the upper hand, but a lot of them agree on Auburn having a menacing wide receiver squad, an equally promising defensive line, and a decent offense lineup.
There is a cloud of doubt at the quarterback, but nothing that can't be managed. Their strengths have continued to grow stronger, which might be one of the reasons why the Tigers ranked among the top teams in ESPN's Week 1 FPI rankings.
